Homemade Doughnuts
I have made this recipe more than once with my kids. It is a favorite in our house. If your children are younger you will have to be the one in charge of frying them. ** just a side-note, I enjoy baking but my pictures are not always ‘professionally displayed’, this is because I am not a professional. Enjoy!

Three minutes on each side, and if you have more than 1 batch your cook time will increase. You will end up with doughnut holes and cake donuts. Yum.
