Celebrate your own National Doughnut Day

Everybody knows that doughnuts aren’t exactly the healthiest of treats. Don't worry about going to Krispy Kreme locations or Dunkin Donuts locations. Try making your own instead. Start by creating a basic sweet dough, then just fry it and top as you wish. Try out this recipe to start with:

• 1 egg
• 1/4 cup sugar
• 1/4 cup sugar replacement like agave nectar
• 1/2 cup milk or liquid
• 2 Tablespoons oil
• 2 cups sifted flour
• two teaspoons baking powder, for rise
• Melted butter or frosting or sugar for topping

Mix wet ingredients together, then add dry ingredients. Put the dough in the fridge or freezer until it is cold enough to work with, then cut it out into the shapes you would like, about 1/2 an inch thick. While you are chilling the dough, heat vegetable oil in a pan until it is 375 degrees – then fry your shapes until they're toasty on both sides. Drain the fried doughnuts, then sprinkle, glaze, or frost with your preferred topping.
