Recipe in Progress: Donut Puffs

This recipe came from Mark Bittman's How To Cook Everything Vegetarian. And it turned out AWFUL! I think the fault was entirely mine. You have to deep fry these little donut puffs, then you can sprinkle them with powdered sugar or whatever you'd like. I took them out as soon as they turned a little golden (it did not take long at all). They LOOKED perfect on the outside. But they were doughy and awful on the inside! Normally I like a doughy treat, but this was not a good doughy food. It was heavy and blech. We all forced down a few donut puffs because they looked so tasty, but then we felt sick. It was not a great way to start the day.

Tomorrow, I am going to try this again! Smaller donut puffs, longer cooking time. I know this recipe has potential! I used to have a little deep fryer of my own. It was the size of a rice cooker, and I got it in high school. What happened to it? I would love to have it now. So many things I would like to fry!

I remember frying biscuit donuts and shaking them in cinnamon and sugar. They were always so fun to make when we were little.

Did you test the oil to make sure it was hot enough. I'm sure you did.
