![]() It wasn’t an overly sweet glaze, which was a nice change. I chose to dip these four times in the chocolate ganache glaze, got a nice thick layer of chocolate. The end result: an outright success! Perhaps not as good as a yeast doughnut but in a pinch these are perfect! (I found dunking the doughnuts in the glaze worked well.) Top with sprinkles (if desired) while the glaze is still setting. Uncover, and using a whisk, mix chocolate and cream together until smooth. Pour the hot cream over the chocolate, and cover with plastic wrap for 3–5 minutes. Bring heavy cream, sugar, and water to a full boil. 2 ounces semisweet or bittersweet chocolateīreak the chocolate into small pieces and put them in a mixing bowl.You can easily double it if you’d like a bit more. This makes just enough glaze for 6 doughnuts. Use a fork to drizzle over the doughnuts or fritters. The possibilities are endless, but here are few recipes I’ve used in the past and the one I used yesterday.Ĭombine the powdered sugar with just enough coffee creamer to make a simple glaze. You can keep it simple, toss them into a bad with powdered sugar, sprinkle with cinnamon and sugar as soon as they come out of the oil, drizzle with a glaze, or completely dip them in chocolate. Now comes the fun part, the dressing of the doughnut. So a general rule for frying these babies: less is best. But it’s a good idea to not over crowd the pan, four doughnuts max, otherwise it will take too long to fry and the doughnuts will be heavy with oil. I could easily fit about four doughnuts into the pan I was using. I always start out doing a test with a doughnut hole to make sure the temp of the oil is just right. Instead of 1 minute per side I had to let these cook for about 3–4 minutes per side, in order to get that nice golden brown color. Don’t go crucifying me for having one, it’s sole purpose now is for good □ See the above picture? I use it to make the holes in the biscuits and it works perfectly! Therefore, the shot glass is redeemed…….*crickets chirping*…….alrighty then, moving on!īecause these aren’t like angel biscuits, which contain yeast, frying these will take a little longer. I don’t have a fancy doughnut hole maker, but it is on my wish list! All I had on hand is an old plastic shot glass we got for free up in Lynchburg, TN. If you want to go that route more power to you □ If you’re like me and don’t have a thermometer, medium high heat is a good place to start. Alton Brown would say get a good thermometer and make sure you get your oil up to 365 degrees. ![]() Heat oil in large pan, over medium high heat. You can’t muck it up, decide on how many you want to make (I did a baker’s dozen which is 13). But that’s a post for another time □Īlright, let’s get down to the recipe, like I said it’s easy. No doubt my Mom’s buttermilk biscuit dough would make some amazing doughnuts. I prefer using freezer biscuits, mostly because that’s what we keep on hand and 99% of the time, when these are requested, is on the spur of the moment and not a whole lot of time to make fresh biscuit dough. It’s really up to you and the amount of time you have or want to spend. You can use refrigerator biscuits, frozen, or homemade. The poor mans donuts, as a friend calls them, is fool proof. I know I’m not the first one to use biscuits and cronuts seem to be the new craze right now. You can Google or Bing yourself all over the web looking at various recipes of homemade doughnuts, methods, and variations. So when G-man is has a hankering for a doughnut or two I wanted to find an easy and quick way to satisfy that craving. I like to treat donuts as a treat, not a staple. I don’t know of anyone who doesn’t like doughnuts and Krispy Kreme are all the rage here in the south.
