We at craft pornographers love a sweet, salty surprise, so this evening we bring you donuts!
Using a nice, simple, classic recipe for this All-Canadian treat, we rolled it, cut it into funny shapes and piped, drizzled, iced and sprinkled to our hearts' content. The result is the sexiest deep-fried dessert... EVER!
Follow the recipe instructions carefully for maximally fluffy dough before and after cutting out your donut shapes. (Note they don't have to be big Os nor circles nor logs; any old cookie cutter will do. We even used gingerbread men cookie cutters for some of them!) After all the dough has risen, been cut into shapes and risen again we get to the fun part... DEEP FRYING! For even cooking the oil needs to stay constantly at 365°F, which, as we learned, is MUCH easier using electric elements than gas. After frying rest the donuts on paper towels to absorb excess oil before decorating the shit outta them. During this stage pour the left over oil through a clean coffee filter and a funnel into a clean bottle because oil in the pipes is bad for both your plumbing and the environment plus this oil can be re-used for deep frying within the next few months which saves a few bucks if you do a lot of deep frying like we do! Til next time... hooray for gluttony!
