A while back, Spud and I got it in our heads that we really really wanted to make homemade donuts.
The problem was, I don’t deep fry in the house and I don’t own an electric deep fryer to deep fry outside. But after a lot of badgering from Spud, I sent a group text to my co-workers asking to borrow a deep fryer, since I figured someone would have one. Lucky for me they did and I had a deep fryer for the weekend.
Immediately, I had the kids put together their deep fry wish list and we had the junkiest weekend ever!
We made the donuts (harder than I thought they’d be, there is a definite learning curve there, but omg - they were fantastic!)
Then we moved on to homemade deep fried eggrolls and Fried Cheesy Pickles.
Finally, Spud asked for homemade fried chicken (a little scary for me since I didn’t want it undercooked) and french fries and wow! Those were amazing as well!
I was in the middle of writing down recipes to share when I realized that I’m really no expert at these. I deep fried once and got lucky that they all turned out. So if you want to make the donuts, check this recipe and this one for the chicken strips.

I’m seeing a deep fryer in your future! What a fun weekend! You nailed the donuts and chicken strips perfectly.
ReplyDeleteI don't use my deep fryer often but for certain foods it is priceless.
ReplyDeleteLike you, I rarely deep fry! Very clever to borrow a fryer and make a whole weekend of it. I think your doughnuts look fabulous and I would love a piece of that chicken!
