Doughnut Day

Making doughnuts used to be an annual tradition from Dad's side of the family. We hadn't made them in two years, but decided to get back into it this spring. We had several families from the church over and made a fun day of it on Monday.  Mom mixed up the dough to rise earlier that morning so that it was all ready to cut out when people arrived.

We even got the boys in on some of the fun! And of course, they showed up when it was time to taste test as well! =D

We had lunch while the doughnuts rose, then got busy frying, filling, and glazing!

We had regular icing for filling and cream cheese icing for some of the spiced doughnuts. Can anyone else say, "Yum!" ?

We even had sprinkles for some of the glazed donuts

 And, voila!

{I apologize for this blurry picture!}

The final product was approximately 280 doughnuts of different varieties including: Regular w/Glaze; Spiced w/ Glaze; Regular w/ Filling; Spiced w/ Filling; Spiced w/ Cream Cheese Filling; Regular w/ Filling and Chocolate Icing. And sprinkles! =D  All in all, a lot of delicious doughnuts!
