Doughnuts (Mel)

As I was standing over my sink devouring a piece of cold chicken like a ravenous beast, I though to myself, I should really make some doughnuts today. Okay I know that if Tim reads this he'll get all sicked out cause I was eating cold chicken. Get over it honey, I've done it since I was a kid and I'll do it until I die, which incidentally, will probably be sooner than later if I keep eating cold fried chicken.:) Secondly, I only thought about the doughnuts because yesterday I really wanted to make some and I found a really quick really easy recipe for Old Fashioned cake doughnuts, which are my FLAVORITE!!! See? It's like flavor and favorite together??? Sigh anyways if you would like to try to make doughnuts, like I am going to TRY and make doughnuts, here is the recipe:

FAST AND EASY OLD FASHION DOUGHNUT
4 c. flour
1 c. sugar
1 c. milk
4 tsp. baking powder
1/2 tsp. salt
2 eggs
2 tbsp. melted butter
1 tsp. vanilla
Mix all together, roll and cut with doughnut cutter. Deep fry until brown.
Delicious plain, or coat with sugar and cinnamon.
Today though I'm doing half the recipe, because really do I need 2 dozen doughnuts just laying around my house with only me and Riley at home? No, I don't think so, remember how i was eating cold chicken? For  breakfast, over the sink cause I didn't want to dirty a dish? Yeah two dozen or more doughnuts around the house are NOT a good idea. Here's some pictures of my doughnut endeavor:

 The Beginnings

 The Holes

 What makes doughnuts delicious in the first place.:)

 I think they turned out okay. We'll see when the taste tester gives them a try.

 The finished product. I burned the last couple...oops.:)

Riley LOVED them she thought they were pretty good even though I did burn some and the Crisco made them smell like eggs. Not really appetizing for me, but fun to do nonetheless!
