Kids have tons of fun helping make this doughnut recipe. MMmmm... How to make Homemade Powdered Sugar Do-nuts or Donuts. No matter how you spell it they still taste good!

You will need:

Cans of refrigerated biscuits (buy generic for 25 cents a can), Vegetable or Canola oil, Powdered Sugar, 1 Egg, Milk.

 

Flatten biscuits with a roller or glass. We used a kid's medicine cup to cut the centers out. Roll the centers into balls for the doughnut holes. Beat an egg slightly and add a few tablespoons of milk, mix well.

How to make doughnuts at home.

 

Dip your biscuits and centers into the egg mixture with a fork or slotted spoon. Coat well and lay on a plate to allow for drippage. With a slotted spoon, drop 2 or 3 "doughnuts" into about 1/4 Cup hot oil. You can add a drop of water first to check for readiness of the oil. Water should sizzle and bubble. Cook doughnuts about 1 minute each side or until golden.

Make fun shapes too. Remove with slotted spoon allowing excess oil to drain off. Roll in a plate of powdered sugar or add your favorite icing and sprinkles.

Food Kids will eat: Watch me pull a Chicken Sandwich out of a hat Recipe?

Looking for food your kids will eat? 

Jake graduates from chicken nuggets to chicken sandwiches in this easy chicken recipe. The secret: Hot Dog Buns.

Chicken nugget chicken sandwiches for kids with hot dog buns.

 A big, Tyson, chicken patty is too big. I saw frozen, mini-sandwiches at Target @ 6 for $2.99, not a bad price, I guess. I am so frugal. It seems like a waste. My $3 could be better spent elsewhere. Have you tried Chick-Fil-A's mini-breakfast sandwiches? These are so awesome :-) Election day, they were handing them out at my polling place, "Yum!" Strictly by accident, I stumbled across this idea.

Happy Accidents are the best!

Jake begged me to make a chicken sandwich for him. We had nuggets, but he refused to eat them! 


He wants a chicken sandwich with pickles and ketchup only.

(He has taken to calling me 'waiter'.)

Jake and I struggle with 'Vegetarianism'. He needs to eat more protein so I am always thinking of a new way to get protein for both of us... Peanut Butter, Cottage Cheese...)

Somebody sent me a message because a light bulb turned on in my head. I took his plate, laid out a hot dog bun, and cut the halves apart. Then I took 3 chicken nuggets and spaced them out evenly on the bottom half of the hot dog bun, added a pickle on each nugget, then a squirt of ketchup. Next, I put the top on the sandwich and cut it neatly into 3 sections- or "mini-chicken sandwiches".

The Amazing Mumford would present this with an-

"A-la Mini-Chicken Sandwiches!"

"Jake its chicken nuggets or nothing. We only have hot dog buns, no hot dogs, and nuggets!" "Waiter, I want a chicken sandwich with no mayo, just pickles, no cheese, and ketchup!" "Arrgh!  We don't..."

Mini Chicken Sandwich from Chicken Nuggets.

Poof!
