Homemade Father's Day Doughnuts

Let's make and decorate doughnuts 🍩for Dad for Father's Day!⁠⠀ ⁠⠀ Ingredients:⁠⠀ -1 tube Pillsbury pizza dough (or use homemade dough)⁠⠀ -Chocolate frosting or any other flavor your dad might enjoy⁠⠀ -toppings – chopped nuts, sprinkles, toffee bits, coconut, and even chopped bacon⁠⠀ -Oil to fry doughnuts⁠⠀ ⁠⠀ Supplies:⁠⠀ -Alphabet cookie cutters⁠⠀ -Pan or fryer⁠⠀ -Candy thermometer if using pan to fry doughnuts⁠⠀ -Paper towels⁠⠀ -Metal cooling rack⁠⠀ -Parchment or wax paper lined baking sheet (for ease of clean up)⁠⠀ ⁠⠀ Instructions:⁠⠀ ⁠⠀ 🍩Unroll pizza dough. Cut out “DAD” using cookie cutters, or whatever words or phrases you like. You could do “We Love Dad” or “#1 Dad” or “Daddy.” There are so many possibilities.⁠⠀ ⁠⠀ 🍩Remove all of the excess dough. You can keep that and fry it up for the kids to snack on.⁠⠀ ⁠⠀ 🍩Heat oil to 350 degrees and fry the doughnuts, flipping them over, until both sides are deep golden brown. Drain the doughnuts on a paper towel and allow them to cool, so that little hands can handle them easily.⁠⠀ ⁠⠀ 🍩Set the cooled doughnuts on a cooling rack set over a parchment or wax paper lined baking sheet.⁠⠀ ⁠⠀ 🍩Heat some chocolate frosting in the microwave for about 10 seconds just until it is thin enough to pour.⁠⠀ ⁠⠀ 🍩Have the kids either dip the doughnut in the frosting, or pour the frosting over the doughnut. Then immediately while the frosting is wet, have them sprinkle on some toppings.⁠⠀ ⁠⠀ 🍩Serve to Dad while fresh!⁠⠀ ⁠⠀ ⁠⠀ ⁠⠀ ⁠⠀
