chocolate for breakfast

After seeing a recipe for homemade donuts online, it sounded like a fun thing to do on a Saturday morning, so we did!  Yes, it was slightly messy and now we have too many leftover donuts to eat, but hey, sometimes you just have to do fun things like this once in a while.

I used this recipe for the donuts and it was good... not that I'm a donut lover and a great judge.  I would have probably chosen a baked donut recipe, because who likes to fry food?  But Chad thought we needed to go all out with the fried kind, so we did.  And he did the frying, so I lucked out.  :)

After I refrigerated the dough I did have to add quite a bit more flour - I would say 1/4 to 1/2 cup (Beck kept dumping so I wasn't keeping track), as the dough was way too sticky.  Maybe I didn't refrigerate it long enough?  And I only had semi sweet chocolate for the glaze, so I added a heaping T. of cocoa to give it a richer chocolate flavor.

just waiting to be fried up
helping cut out the donuts and getting flour everywhere :)
time to dip in the glaze
sprinkles of course
temptation overcame Beck and he couldn't wait for the glaze too cool to dig in  :)
"mmm, good" was the verdict
licking the extra sprinkles off his fingers, he declared "Beckham likes sprinkles"  :)
the final product!

haha ;) Guess we'll have to break out the fryer ( that we don't own). I'm sure a skillet will due in a pinch. :) Carbs sound pretty good these days.
