Doughnuts!

If you tell me there's anything better than warm, homemade donuts, you're lying. These little guys were a great way to start a lazy Sunday morning and not nearly as hard to make as they look. I used this recipe from the Los Angeles Times and they came out beautifully.

Pipe them out

  
Cut the (well-oiled) parchment paper into squares to make them easier to deal with


 And slid them into the hot oil.


Let them cook for a while, flip them over and they magically become donuts!


Ta da!


Now it's time for the fun part: dipping! We made a vanilla-bean glaze, a lemon glaze, and a chocolate glaze. 


There were tons of sprinkles and dozens of sticky, messy fingers. 



I made everyone wait and drool while I insisted on taking pictures for you.


And let me tell you, 


They were incredible!


Almost more fun to make than they were to eat.


We made a bit of a mess, but about 15 minutes after this picture was taken almost every donut was gone.




Everyone went home very, very happy.
