Making donuts at home is easier than you might think especially with this recipe using cake mix. You can have fresh, homemade donuts in no time.
3 cups oil for frying (or as needed)
1 package (15-18 ounce size) cake mix, any flavor
1/2 cup all-purpose flour
4 eggs
1 1/4 cup water
1/4 cup powdered sugar for dusting
Heat the oil in a deep skillet or deep fryer to 375 degrees F.
Combine the cake mix, flour, water, and eggs in a mixing bowl. Beat on low speed with an electric mixer for 5 minutes or until smooth.
When the oil is hot, drop the donut batter, about 2 tablespoons at a time, into the hot oil. Do not crowd the donuts. Cook the donuts in the oil for 3-5 minutes or until golden. Turn the donuts as needed so they brown on all sides.
Remove the donuts from the oil with a slotted spoon. Let drain on paper toweling. Repeat with the remaining donut batter.
Dust the cake donuts with powdered sugar. Store the cooled donuts in an airtight container.
You can change up the flavor and color quite a bit that way. Add about 1 1/2 to 2 teaspoons of extract and slowly add the food coloring until you get the desired color.
Pumpkins aren't just for pies or Halloween decorations. These large, orange gourds - while naturally sweet - also work well in savory dishes. They pair well with poultry and pork (and especially bacon) and their creamy-when-cooked texture blends easily into soups.
Ranking #1 in nearly every "favorite cookie" poll, the chocolate chip cookie is pretty much the go-to cookie of choice for both kids and grownups alike.
A can of cream of mushroom soup can be a real dinner saver. It works great in casseroles and can turn into a sauce or gravy in a pinch.
