Go nuts for Donuts!

We have been married 7 1/2 years. 

Lance has talked about his sisters homemade donuts for 7 1/2 years. About how she used to make them when he was younger, how delicious they were, how much he LOVED them. 

The other day I got around to asking his sister for the recipe, finally.

Friday night in our house is called "Family Fun Night" We do all sorts of different things...play different games, make playdough, watch movies, it's different every week. This Friday we planned to make "THE Donuts"  together.

We mixed, stirred, made a mess, ate, cut, cooked, ate, dipped, iced, and ate some more! It was great fun!

Now these donuts had quite a bit of hype behind them....7 1/2 yrs worth of build up. Let me just say...they really are DELICIOUS!

Thanks Sabra and Chelsey for sharing the goodness! Now I will pass it along.......

Cake Donuts

3 1/3 cup Flour

1 cup sugar

3 tsp B. Powder

1/2 tsp Salt

1/2 tsp Cinnamon

1/4 tsp nutmeg

2 tbsp shortening

2 eggs

3/4 cup milk

1. Mix 1 1/2 cups of the flour with the rest of the ingredients until well mixed.

2. Stir in remaining flour

3. Roll out dough 3/8" thick

4. Cut into Donut shapes. (we didn't have a donut shaped cookie cutter so we just used a cup and a little lid for the inside circle.)

5. Deep fry in Lard. (I didn't have lard either. We just used grease, the temp was fairly low and they turned out good.)

Glaze

2 cups icing sugar

6 tbsp milk

Stir together and dip warm donuts into it. Let set on wax paper.
