Number Of Ingredients 15

Oil for deep frying
2 cups Original Bisquick™ mix
2 tablespoons granulated sugar
1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
1/4 cup milk
1 teaspoon vanilla
1 large egg, beaten
2 boxes (4-serving size) butterscotch instant pudding and pie filling mix (dry)
5 creme-filled chocolate sandwich cookies, crushed, mixed with 1/2 cup powdered sugar
1/2 cup granulated sugar
2 3/4 teaspoons unsweetened baking cocoa
1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
2 boxes (4-serving size) pistachio instant pudding and pie filling mix (dry)
1 tablespoon each red and green sugars, if desired
2 boxes (4-serving size) Jell-O™ raspberry- or strawberry-flavored gelatin (dry)*

Steps:

  • In deep fryer or 2-quart heavy saucepan, heat 2 to 3 inches oil to 375°F. Place one of the Coating Flavors into a brown paper lunch bag (about 10 3/4 x 5 inches) or medium bowl.
  • Lightly spoon Bisquick mix into measuring cup; level off with straight edge of knife. Add to medium bowl along with remaining Doughnut Hole ingredients; mix just until dough forms. Work with half of the dough at a time; cover and refrigerate remaining half of dough. Shape dough into 1-inch balls. Sprinkle fingers and hands with Bisquick mix if they get sticky. Carefully drop balls, 5 or 6 at a time, into hot oil. Fry 1 to 2 minutes or until golden brown all around; drain on paper towels. Immediately gently shake 2 or 3 doughnut holes at a time in bag, or roll in coating in bowl. Repeat with refrigerated dough.

Steps:

Place 3 dark chocolate chunks in the middle of each piece, pinching the dough to enclose; roll each into a ball.

Transfer to paper towels to drain, then roll in the sugar mixture while still warm.

Categories     dessert

Time 30m

Yield 4 to 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 6

Neutral oil, for frying
One 16-ounce can refrigerated biscuits (see Cook's Note)
6 ounces fresh raspberries
1 cup whipped topping
One 11-ounce jar fudge sauce
Confectioners' sugar, for dusting

Steps:

  • Fill a medium Dutch oven with 3 inches of oil and heat to 350 degrees F.
  • Pop open the can of biscuits, cut each biscuit into 4 pieces, roll each into a ball and then press flat like a small saucer.
  • Gently drop half of the dough pieces into the hot oil and fry, flipping them as they cook so all sides brown evenly, until puffed and dark golden brown, 2 to 3 minutes. Remove with a slotted spoon and cool on a sheet pan lined with a wire rack. Repeat with the remaining dough.
  • Place the raspberries in the bowl of a mini food processor or mash by hand until smooth. Fold the mixture into the whipped topping and transfer it to piping bags or squeeze bottles. Add 1 teaspoon of hot water to the jar of fudge. Stir until loosened and slightly warm, adding more water if necessary, then transfer the fudge sauce to piping bags or squeeze bottles
  • Use a chopstick to poke a hole in one side of each doughnut to make a little space inside. Gently pipe the filling inside each doughnut until you feel it expand a little in your fingers, then stop and place on a cooling rack filled-side up. Sprinkle with confectioners' sugar. Serve immediately or at room temperature.

DOUGHNUT HOLES

Baked nuggets are filled with strawberry jam and rolled in confectioners' sugar. A cellophane bag shows them off and keeps the sugar from getting all over. Tags are computer-made, cut out, hole-punched, and tied on with waxed twine.

Yield Makes about 7 dozen

Number Of Ingredients 11

1 envelope (1/4 ounce) instant yeast
1/4 cup granulated sugar
3/4 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
3 3/4 cups all-purpose flour, plus more for dusting
1 cup buttermilk, room temperature
2 large eggs, plus 1 large egg yolk
4 tablespoons unsalted butter, softened, plus 4 tablespoons melted
Vegetable oil, for bowl
1 cup seedless strawberry jam
Confectioners' sugar, for rolling

Steps:

  • Whisk yeast, granulated sugar, salt, nutmeg, and 3 cups flour in a medium bowl; set aside. Mix buttermilk, eggs, and yolk on high speed in the bowl of a mixer fitted with the dough hook until combined. Mix in flour mixture on low speed until combined. Mix in softened butter, 1 tablespoon at a time (dough should form a ball).
  • Gradually add remaining 3/4 cup flour, mixing until dough is tacky but not sticky. Transfer to a lightly oiled bowl; cover with plastic wrap. Let dough rise in a warm, draft-free spot until doubled in bulk, about 1 hour 20 minutes.
  • Fit a pastry bag with a #230 filler tip. Stir jam until smooth; transfer to bag. Twist a rubber band around open end of bag to prevent jam from leaking; set bag aside.
  • Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Roll out dough 3/4 inch thick on a lightly floured work surface. Cut out rounds using a 1-inch cutter; transfer to a baking sheet. Let rise 25 minutes. Generously brush with melted butter. Bake until pale golden, about 10 minutes. Transfer to a wire rack; let cool slightly.
  • Insert tip of filled pastry bag into the side of each donut hole, and pipe jam to fill. The morning of the sale, roll in confectioners' sugar; package in cellophane bags.

EASY DOUGHNUTS AND DOUGHNUT HOLES

I like the recipe because you don't have to go to the local donut store, you can do this in your home with what you have normally in your fridge. This came from my family, aunts, cousins etc. Only thing is you don't really want to save them, you should eat them when they are fresh.
