Scones with my Mama

These bring back childhood memories.
We called them scones but they are basically just donuts.

My Mom would make these sometimes...and they were always eaten so fast that if you weren't there when they were made, you were out of luck until next time.

They are super easy.

Get some of these:

Let them rise.

Make yourself a sugar and cinnamon blend...or even just sugar if you'd like.

Fry up those bad boys.

Then roll the around in the sugar and cinnamon.

Until they look super awesome like this:

Devour them as they are or get yourself some of this cinnamon butter and have an amazing time!

Mini Doughnuts....I guess.

I bought this mini doughnut maker about a year ago and last night I decided I was going to use it.


It was a hot weekend and I didn't want to deal with using hot oil and frying doughnuts so I researched some cake recipes that could be baked.

I found two, a plain recipe and also a chocolate recipe.


This thing works great, each batch only took about 3-4 minutes to bake and the shapes came out perfectly. (I used a piping bag to fill each ring evenly and avoid a huge mess)


The taste...not horrible but also not was I was hoping for.
They are lacking the right texture and could have been sweeter.

Maybe some glaze and sprinkles will help?


Or maybe just some more sugar?


They look pretty at least.
