Doughnuts

If you haven't heard Doughnuts are the new Cupcakes.  Every culture has some form of fried dough deliciousness.  Americans Donuts, Portuguese Malasadas, Arab Loukoumades, Mexican Sopapillas, French Croulers, Italian Ricotta.  I do not discriminate not even against the bags of fried biscuit dough the serve with Chinese takeout.  Today I caved and bought a donut (the easy way to spell it) baking sheet, seems healthier to bake them, and a donut cookbook.  I am so excited I could stay up all night baking and frying bits of dough.  The only problem is deciding which to make first, ricotta, red velvet, smore, banana bread, chocolate macaroon, or chai donuts.  I think I will sleep on it.  Pictures may come if I don't eat all the evidence.

So I ate half of them before I took the picture.  I found a basic recipe online that used ingredients I had on hand, when done I dipped them in butter and cinn/sugar. Yummy
