Quick Donuts

Keepers

All those keepers. Okay. All right, here we go. You know, y'all, there's some recipes that you want to just keep forever that your mother's done

You want to just file them away in your head, but never lose them

This is one of them. Mm-hmm. That quick, easy dessert that southern women are known for

Donuts? Donuts. Mm. A can of biscuits, y'all. Mm. So we're going to open these things

My mother used to make these for bubbing me all the time

You still get scared every time you open one of these? Son, if it pops on me, I do

I'm about messing with pants. There we go. Mama used to take them and just do them apart like this with her finger

so you never had any holes. But you can also take... I like only the hole

I like the donut hole Well that why I doing them for you son because I thought you might like the whole Always All right so there are our donuts And Mama always used to use confectionate sugar Bob

Mm-hmm. But today we're going to use granulated sugar and some cinnamon

Okay. So if you, let's see, I would say that much. We're just going to combine the two together

Yeah. and maybe that much. Here we go, Bobby. All right. Sugar is mint

In the fryer. You can actually just pour like half of that in your bag

and half in. Okay, so we're just going to drop them in there and shake them up? Yes. And I'm going to drop these down in the grease

while you're doing that. How long do these take to cook? Oh, son, not long

We're going to flip them over and let them brown. Ooh. Hot donuts, y'all. Yeah

And, son, as soon as they hit the grease, you kind of almost want to turn them over

because they like a hush puppy Right And they get heavy on one side and then you never be able to flip them Mm Heavy with grease Yes Yes

They'll get wopsided. You know what I'm saying? Mm-hmm. See, so there we go

Mm-hmm. Just like that. Look above the fry. You have the world's first fryer camp

Can y'all see me? Can y'all see me? No, I think it's pointing down into the fryer

Oh! Did y'all see me? All right, so look at those, son

Aren't they looking good? They are. I think we need some holes. Is that my brother

Do I hear my brother? Hey, Jamie, this reminds me of old times

Oh, shut up when I used to breathe in a bag. Because they'd make me so nervous

Y'all... I hope that cam's got this stuff good. All right, now, Bobby

Yes ma We don want these to drain long We want these Oh this is the top Yes we want these nice and wet in here Hey this morning I went and talked to two 8th grade classes

You did? Yeah, and a brown paper bag story brought it up. I'm sorry, I've had a nervous past

If you weren't stuck at home for those years, you wouldn't be the cook you are

I wouldn't be the cook I am. So you stayed home, you couldn't do anything else. What'd you do? You cooked

And now I look at you with your 24-hour fry cam. You know what

You know what? And your daddy used to try to get me to

in the sack, son, in the sack. I'll tell you what, if people are gonna watch your fryer, Dan
