easy doughnuts and stuffing rolls with bacon
Posted: Wed Jan 12, 2011 2:05 pm
Well it's the new year and I'm still waiting for some new recipes! Does anyone else eat homecooked or is it all fast food? I know the answer so come on and share some of those recipes.
After receiving a doughnut cutter from the grandkids for Christmas, it was expected that papa would immediatly make doughnuts for them. I'm good at wingin things so I used the trusty biscuit recipe (comfort food post) and tripled it. after rolling the dough to about 3/4 inch thick, I cut several doughnuts and deep fried them in an electric skillet, turning them to brown on both sides with a set of wooden knitting needles. After frying I dusted them with a cinnamon/sugar mix. The holes were fried up as well and rolled in the same mixture. I thought they were good and so did the grandkids and their parents as well. A few days later I made up some more dough and used a biscuit cutter ( mushroom can with both ends cut out) to cut the dough and after deep frying they looked like bismarcs waiting to be filled. I was looking for my turkey injector but found instead a cookie froster I had (not used for years but after this I will most likely wear it out) that looks like a giant hypodermic needle with replaceable ends for various designs. I filled it with some blackberry jam, plunged it into the side of the doughnuts and filled them with jam, umm, gooood eatin time again.
At Christmas, we had ham and turkey for the brunch and you have to have stuffing or at least I do, so for something different I tried the following, getting the idea from a granddaughter that loves ham rollups with cream cheese. Anyway I mixed the stuffing (stovetop) according to the directions but added some chopped up onions, a little crushed garlic,salt and pepper, a little worcestershire sauce and and a slightly beaten egg to hold it all together, I made round balls about 1 1/2 inches around and then took a slice of peppered bacon and rolled it around the stuffing mixture and used a toothpick to hold it all together, heated up some oil and deepfried them until the bacon was cooked. Rolled em up in paper towels to get some of the excess oil off and watched em disappear.
There's two and I hope some more will show up.
