Donuts are a bit sweet for my taste, so I rarely make them, but when I do I’m reminded of how quick, simple, and delicious they are. They’re so much fun that I almost want to make them faster than I can eat them, which is perfect if you have my sweet tooth of a boyfriend. I only ate two from the chocolate-cherry batch and he kindly took care of the rest. I can’t say the same for the little fried rings; we both scarfed those down at record speed. By record speed, I mean less than three minutes. They’re best when they’re hot, we all know that, and in this case, I almost didn’t get a chance to dip them in icing.
First is a delicious baked chocolate donut with cherry frosting and second comes the easiest fried donut of all time. I learned about the latter in YMCA when I was eight, yeah, it’s that easy. So cruise through these recipes with me, but I’m warning you, you’ll want to head immediately to the store to grab the ingredients.
