Time to make the donuts!



 A couple of weeks ago on Pinterest I saw donuts made from store bought biscuits. I thought hmmm yummy and since I almost always have those in my fridge I could make them with only a little effort. So, today I did.


 
I just used an apple corer and a 2 liter soda lid to punch the centers out of my donuts.

                                                                                        

 
In the picture on Pinterest the donuts were just covered in sugar and cinnamon so that is what I was doing. Only after I cooked the first batch I thought why am I not dipping these in that yummy caramel frosting recipe I have?
I had to put the brakes on and turn everything off while I made the frosting.
 
 

I could just drink this mixture without even adding the powdered sugar. It's that good, if you like sweet caramel tasting stuff!
 
 

 
 
If you don't have a good recipe this one is most delicious!! 1/2 cup butter or marg., 1c. brown sugar, 1/4c. milk, 2 1/2c. powdered sugar. Melt the butter over medium heat. Add the brown sugar. Stir until it boils. Continue stirring and let boil for 2 minutes. Add the milk. Keep stirring until it comes to a boil again. Remove from heat. Let cool. Add powdered sugar beating well after each addition. ( I made an ice bath to cool it faster since I was impatient to get back to making the donuts. This frosting tastes really good on chocolate cake as well.)

And finally the finished project! They tasted so good!! Hope you all have a great day! Love, Monica
