This calls for a Donut

After days and days of being told that we were going to have a HUGE snow storm I thought this morning would be a great time to be trapped inside making donut. And eating donuts.  I even made a trip up to Jungle Jims to check out their AWESOME accessory selection which often includes great deals on clearance items. I found a donut baking sheet. It was official.

Then I woke up this morning to find that our weather predictions had changed and our 6+ inches of snow was switched to rain with maybe a 1-3 inches of accumulation that we won't see until tomorrow morning.  I can't lie I found this to be bittersweet. While I was getting excited about being snowed in I was also getting worried that school might be canceled on Monday and with the last two weeks off of school and work we are READY to get back into a routine. 

So this morning I made donuts.  If you choose to make these donuts you can find the recipes at Cooking with my Kid and Buns in My Oven.  I made the Baked Maple Cinnamon Donuts and the Chocolate Donuts.

 

The chocolate ones were eaten so quickly I barely was able to get a good picture.  My only two suggestions are 1. Only fill your donut pans have way, they plump up plenty in the oven. 2. Buns In My Oven suggests 8 minutes for the Chocolate Donuts, my suggestion is a full 10 minutes.
