Well, this weekend I'm going to attempt one of the greatest cooking challenges yet! Home-made donuts! I'm not talking the "pop open a can of biscuits and stick your finger in the middle kind".... I'm talking flour, eggs, sugar, milk, yeast, and OH YES... butter! I'm hoping to recreate my own little version of Krispy Kreme... seeing as Lubbock is the closest one, and it's over 2 HOURS away. I got the recipe off the Pioneer Women's website, and she swears by it, so we shall see. Today I just made the dough because it has to rise overnight.
Mixing things up!
Look at that beautiful dough! ( I know... I have issues. Everyone has their quirks! Mine just happens to be FOOD! Eating, baking, cooking, shopping for groceries, etc! I confess... I'm a foodie! LOL!)
Ready to "Rise" & Shine! LOL!
The kids have already "staked" their space out in the kitchen for where they will decorate/ice/embellish their donuts. It's hilarious! However, I am LOVING how much they want to be in the kitchen with me! Who knew my two favorite pass times (spending time with my family and cooking/baking) would one day merge to make me one blissful girl! We are all looking forward breakfast! MMmmmmm! Wish me luck!
And we feel so lucky to have had a speical invite to taste these yummy homemade donuts in the morning. Surely to goodness my kids will eat a donut. We shall see!
ReplyDeleteOh, and I love the confession that you are a foodie! Made me laugh! I think I will start calling you that. :)
