Answers:
By far the easiest (and best donuts) I have made are from Pillsbury biscuits. Buy the cheap ones (they are between 39 cents and 40 cents per roll). Use a soda cap to cut out the middle of the donut. Cook them in hot oil (you can choose the oil depending on how healthy you want to go...I just use canola oil), flip after a little bit. Put them on a paper towel to soak up some of the grease. Then dust with either powdered sugar or a cinnamon-sugar mixture. You can make donut holes from the pieces you cut out with the cap. I hate trying to dust the donuts with powdered sugar or cinnamon sugar because I always make a mess.....so I through them in a paper bag and shake! I love this because it's fast and simple....and for a plus side the biscuits don't have any trans fat!!

ADDED TASTE TREATS: For a delightful taste treat, add chocolate or butterscotch bits, raisins, nuts chopped fine, currants, fruit cake mix or 2 tablespoons orange marmalade or red raspberry jam to the batter.
O.J. OVALS: Try substitute orange juice for liquid.
DRIED FRUIT DESSERT: Dried Fruits make marvelous dinner desserts. These may be obtained at the local grocery store or Health Stores. Pears, peaches, apricots, figs and apples. Tenderized and soaked dried fruits are cooked slowly. Place in saucepan, cover with water, then cover saucepan. Bring slowly to the steaming point and allow to simmer 45-50 minutes. When fruit is tender you may want to add 1/2 cup sugar for each pound of dried fruit. Cover. Allow to simmer 5 minutes more. Remove from heat and cool, keeping pan covered. Lots of people feel the dried fruit is sufficiently sweet without sugar. For dinner dessert, several mixture of thoroughly chilled fruits on top of donut. You can add 1 tablespoon of cointreau or maraschino to the fruit just before you serve it on the donut.
Cherry or Plum Filling: 1 c. boiling water 1 c. sugar 2 tbsp. cornstarch 1 tbsp. butter 1/2 tsp. cinnamon
Cook fruit and water together about 5 minutes. Drain off juice. Stir in mixture of sugar and cornstarch. Add the fruit and cook 10 minutes. Stir in butter and cinnamon. Cover donut with fruit mixture and your favorite topping. In place of cherries or plums, you can use gooseberries.
CHOCOLATE 'N CHERRIES: Alternately layer donut halves with chocolate pudding and drained pitted cherries, ending with pudding. Top with whipped cream and a cherry or chopped nuts. Use a tall parfait glass.
SWEET AND SOUR: Mix together pineapple bits and drained mandarin orange slices, toasted almonds, a small carton of sour cream and fill center of donut.
I was surprised that donuts are made from bread dough. You should start small at first and make pigears. Just fry clumps of bread dough in oil until brown and then toss in sugar or cinnamon sugar. You'll need yeast and a bread machine or heavy duty mixer or your gonna have some sore arms and its gonna take hours. There are loads of recipes available on the internet. Once you get the ingredients, bread flour, milk,sugar, salt, yeast, and a bread machine post again.
2 eggs, beaten
1 c. milk
1 tsp. vanilla
1 c. sugar
1/2 tsp. salt
1/2 tsp. nutmeg
2 tsp. baking powder
Blend all ingredients thoroughly before adding flour. Fill deep fryer 3/4 full with cooking oil. Preheat while you mix ingredients. Stir in flour, a little at a time, until dough becomes stiff. Roll out and cut into donut shapes. Be sure and cut out hole in center of rolled out dough.
The easiest way (and fastest) is to buy Pilsberry biscuts..already pre-made. Fry them up in a little veggie oil in a deep pan. About a minute or two (or whenever they are golden) on each side. Then dust with a little sugar or powdered sugar. YUM.
You can cut a whole in the middle, or just leave it. I like to not cut a whole..to much work!
