Donut Frenzy

By: Alyssa Molnar

    The cooking class is going into the past! Today the students made old fashioned deep fried donuts to spice up their Wednesday. For the recipe it’s an overall quick simple recipe. The prep time is only 10 minutes and the overall cooking time is 20. The ingredients the students need to make these delicious treats are…

• 1 cup of sugar
• 4 teaspoons of baking powder
• 1 ½ teaspoons of salt
• ½ teaspoon of nutmeg
• 2 eggs
• ¼ cup of unsalted butter (melted)
• 1 cup of milk
• 4 cups of flour (plus a little more if the dough is sticky)
• Oil (for frying)
• 
  

     Once the students prepare the dough they wrap it in plastic wrap and put it in the freezer to chill. They then begin to heat the oil over the stove. Once this step is done they roll out the dough again and use the donut cutters to cut out the shapes of the donuts. They use a smaller cutter for example a water bottle cap to cut the whole in the middle of the donut.

     Once the oil is ready for frying they put 3 to 4 donuts in the fryer at a time and wait for about 2 to 3 minutes while constantly turning them in the oil or until they are a golden brown color. Once they are done remove them from the oil and lay them down on the plate with a paper towel.

     Mix sugar and cinnamon in a small bowl and cover the donuts in the mixture. Once all of those steps are done you can enjoy your delicious donuts like our cooking classes at MHS did.
