Craftykins // Homemade Donuts for Mother’s Day

Let’s be honest…your mom would rather have donuts than flowers for Mother’s Day, right?  Making them at home is easier than you think with this little recipe cheat…you don’t even have to make the dough!

You’ll need:

store bought biscuit dough {NOT the flaky kind}

oil

powdered sugar

whole milk

vanilla

cookie cutters

sprinkles/toppings, if desired

food color, if desired

Start by using your cookie cutters to cut the biscuit dough into your desired message or shapes.  If your cutters are on the larger side, you may need to do a little maneuvering to get them to fit.  Try to keep the dough uniform thickness and not  stretch them too much.

Fill a frying pan with the oil, about 1 inch deep.  Heat on low-medium heat, until the oil “dances”…when a sprinkle of water pops.  Be very careful, hot oil is dangerous!

When the oil is heated, put the dough shapes in.  I usually only put a couple in at a time…this goes very fast, so don’t walk away!  Cook on each side for 45-60 seconds.  The dough should be a golden brown.

Remove to a plate lined with a paper towel to drain.

To make the glaze, combine 1/4 cup of powdered sugar with a tablespoon or two of milk and a tiny bit of vanilla and food color.  This isn’t an exact science…just add the milk as necessary to get the proper consistency.  If it gets too thin, add more sugar.

Dip the donuts in the glaze and place on a cooling rack.  Add sprinkles or toppings.  To make clean up easier, place the cooling rack atop a piece of wax paper to catch any drips.

When the glaze has dried, gift them to the favorite mom in your life!

Copyright © 2023 · Babiekins Magazine | A Trendsetting Kids' Fashion Magazine and Online Community for Parents and Children Alike · Since the Southern California birth of Babiekins in 2010, the magazine has grown from into an internationally-recognized print publication with a global circulation and now a thriving online community. We are more than a kids’ fashion magazine. We search everywhere for inspiration, and go beyond trends to bring you fashion, style, decor, design, books, DIY, parties, and playthings. Our readers look to us to keep up with the best and most up-to-date concepts in the children’s market worldwide. We have an eye for quirk. We’re high-fashion, but we value whimsy over tradition. Playful childhood is more important to us than making kids into copycat adults. We believe life is beautiful, life is valuable, and life changes when you see it through the eyes of a child. We seek to transcend skin color, language and zip codes and bring out the real, wild, magical creativity inherent in every child. And behind Babiekins is an optimistic team of mothers-turned-editors, working from home, often with our own little babiekins climbing on, under and around the desks. We want to encourage you, and challenge you to see something different — something special — in yourself and in this world we all share. Welcome to Babiekins!
