Marifrasier had her annual Christmas cook off party tonight. Jacqueline and I schemed for weeks about our entry. We searched recipes, blogs, and old favorites to find the perfect dish. (Thanks to a suggestion by Courtney) we decided to go with one of my childhood favorites: home made doughnuts! Mom used to make them and even serve us in bed sometimes. They are delicious. Never in my life have I made so many, though! We made 200!
We WON the dessert category!
Way to go Jacqueline! I had a blast cooking up this yummy sweet with you! And I loved watching people love them...
Go ahead, treat yourself:
Buy canned biscuits -- NOT flakey; the cheaper the better, according to mom.
Cut each biscuit into quarters and roll into a ball.
Heat oil to 325 and drop balls in the oil.
Flip once they turn golden brown.
When the other side turns golden, remove with a slotted spoon and place in one of two containers (that have lids): powdered sugar AND cinnamon/sugar combination.
Put the lid on and shake, shake, shake!
Remove and enjoy. They are best when warm.
I have to say, this party is nothing if not random. But I had a really good time. It is interesting to watch the different groups of people and try to remember names. Haha. A special shout out to Jane Harper. As usual, her comments and company did not disappoint!
