I have been asked for doughnut holes again. I really do not mind making them but when the request comes out of the blue, it can be more work then I wish. But what if I am making bread anyhow? And bread based on my the dough from my favorite hot cross buns or cranberry walnut buns? Because sometimes that is the bread that is wished.
I rolled off 24 small balls of dough. Let them rise. And fried them at about 350 degrees Fahrenheit until they were golden and baked through.
I made a glaze from powdered sugar and milk with a touch of vanilla for these. The household thought these were wonderful. I still think the potato doughnut holes are better but that is me. The recipe is very similar except for the addition of mashed potato. But I have also been enjoying lefse more then tortillas lately. My taste buds must have changed.
Easy? Just because the bread was already being made. And it made people happy.
