I’ve always liked pastries, especially donuts, but i don’t know how to make one. Can someone please help me figure out how to make a batch from scratch? And also if you know how to make some frosting to go on top of it i would really appreciate it.
It can be any shaped donut.

This is as homemade as I get but man are they good.
1 can of cheap biscuits
biscuit cutter
oil
sugar and cinnamon
Heat your oil to about med-hi, take the biscuits out of the container, cut a hole in the middle w/ the cutter or a glass, drop in oil til golden brown, about 1-2 min. per side, remove and drop in sugar mix. Yummy and very fast.
Not only is this an easy recipe, it is also seasonal! Cranberry Doughnuts http://betterthanordinary.blogspot.com/2009/11/my-new-favorite-may-be-yours-too.html
Jump on line and look up recipes for sweet bread or rolls. If you want super easy & fast, use refrigerator sweet rolls. Roll the dough out on a lightly floured board, and cut with a round cutter or the top of a glass, or roll into small 1 inch round balls. Fry in a few inches of hot oil, they cook fast so turn with a slotted metal spoon, remove from oil when lightly browned all sides. Drain/ cool on a few layers of paper towel. The icing is powdered sugar with milk added a teaspoon at a time until it is the consistency to drizzle. or sprinkle with powdered sugar, or sugar and Cinnamon mixed.
Happy Cooking!
