Delightful Doughnuts!

In the summer Bentley and I have some sort of activity planned everyday.  Well Thursday is cooking/baking day.  Today we decided to use a recipe from the Pioneer Women.  We used her homemade doughnut recipe.
I mixed up the dough last night because it has to be refrigerated for several hours.  This morning we woke up and rolled out the dough that had now doubled in size.  Bentley had a great time cutting the doughnuts and the holes in them.  After that they had to rise for 1 1/2 hours.  Then the fun began.

 What a handsome chef!! Doughnuts cut and ready to rise.

 All risen!  Ready to fry!!!

Fry Baby Fry!!! (They're 100% fat free)

 Glazing the doughnuts.  He may or may not have licked his fingers.

 All glazed and ready to be devoured!!

The verdict...DELICIOUS!!!

Brian came home for lunch right in time to enjoy some fresh, hot doughnuts.  

Need I mention that's all he ate for lunch

They really weren't to hard to make and turned out yummy.  Definitely worth a shot.  

How many miles do you think I'll need to run after this adventure?  

In preschool Bentley had a journal that he would draw in everyday and he's been telling me all the things he was going to write in his journal when he went back to school.  He was bummed when I told him he wasn't going back to preschool any more so he wouldn't be able to write in his journal.  So a few days ago we made a summer journal.  Here's today's journal page on making doughnuts.

It says: "I made doughnuts.  They were good.  My mom helped me.  We ate them then dad came. Then dad took them."  
I like how he blames Brian for everything.  PS Brian really didn't take them.  LOL  There's still a plate full left.
