Just go to Publix and buy Entermans donuts. No work, no cleanup and they are good.

They are staying inside because of compromised health.

And maybe they had the same less-than-stellar experiences with Instacart that I had.

And sometimes it's just fun to try making something yourself. They said they are enjoying the process.

Thanks, that concept hadn't crossed my mind!

You totally missed the point I made in my OP.

I'm at home all day.

I'm bored.

I've found something creative to do.

It takes time to research recipes.

It takes time to make, clean up then it takes time bragging about it here.

DOUGHNUTS !!! My favorite food. Good for the morale.
BTW...the healthiest part of the doughnut is the hole.
I like DD but think that Winn Dixie has the best bargain, and they taste SOOOOO GOOOOOOD!

Obviously people like to judge. BAKED donuts are fun to make, much HEALTHIER than FRIED...
Good for you learning something new and having fun doing it. My favorite...“Margarita Donuts“...

Try your hand at pepper jelly. Fill glass bottles with vinegar or vegetable oil, then add peppers. It's refillable and makes an easy gift.

Like donut healthy, I suppose Crisco better?

You don't have to explain yourself to anyone!

Good job, and I bet they are delicious!

This recipe sounds like way too much fun! Saturday night dessert and then brunch on sunday!

Thanks!

I'll be experimenting on baklava type donuts soon! Donuts with chopped walnuts, cinnamon and nutmeg then soaked in a honey syrup then topped with a little crunchy phylo dough soaked in honey then dusted with more cinnamon and sugar!
