Doughnuts

I love a good Chinese buffet, hell, I love a bad Chinese buffet, but most of all I love the fried bits of dough rolled in sugar that passes as a doughnut.

Years and years ago, at my request, I got a Fry Daddy for Christmas. Oh, how I love that little black pot. So many delicious things have come out of its sizzling oil. Today it was doughnuts. I wish I had taken a moment longer to think about my "lunch" before wolfing down its sugary hotness, because then I would have a picture of how delectable this is. But alas, I was too quick to eat, and a photo will have to wait until I make these tasty little treats again.

This recipe is easy-peasy:

9 Rhodes dinner rolls
2 tbsp sugar
vegetable oil

1) Set out he dinner rolls to rise. Time will very on temperature of room. (And possibly altitude?) About 2-3 hours.
2) Once rolls are good to go plug in your Fry Daddy to heat up, or heat up vegetable oil, about an inch deep, in a sauce pan.
3) Divide each roll in half and shape how you like. Ball them up, flatten them out, roll them into a tube, whatever floats your boat.
4) Place in hot oil until they are golden brown. About a minute if the oil is hot enough, and you may have to flip to fry both sides - they like to float.
5) Once they are cooked pull them out and let them cool down enough to handle. Once cool, roll around in sugar.

And just like that you have homemade doughnuts. I plugged in half the batch (9 doughnuts) to MyFitnessPal and got this for nutrition info - though, I wouldn't accept this as truly accurate information, just an approximation - Calories: 614 Carbs: 99 Fat: 21 Protein: 9 Sodium: 585 Sugar:22

These would also be good with: honey (I'm a fan of orange honey), nutella, peanut butter. frosting... whatever you can think of.
