I don’t know what has gotten into me lately. I have been craving sweets. I don’t normally eat a lot of sweets. Most of the time I would rather have something salty like potato chips or popcorn, but for the last week I have had that gnawing ache in my belly for something sugary.
I tried peanut butter and jelly, I tried pancakes with peanut butter and syrup and still could not shake the craving. Oh and unlike Kona, I can make really good pancakes. I thought about getting a candy bar, but chocolate is not good for Bo and he gets downright offended if I don’t share with him so I decided to see what I could find at home to make.
I scoured the cupboards for something and came up with enough fixin’s to make my favorite homemade doughnuts. These are quick to fix and are really tasty.
Redneck Doughnuts

Ingredients:
Cream the margarine and sugar.
Mix the dry ingredients together and add them to the butter by adding a little of the dry ingredients and a little of the milk until all ingredients are well mixed.
Fill a greased muffin tin about half full with the batter and bake for about 25 minutes at 350 degrees.
When they are done you can brush them with a little melted butter and roll them in a mixture of ½ cup sugar and ½ teaspoon cinnamon, or glaze them.
For the glaze I make, I start with ½ cup of powdered sugar, add milk until I get the desired consistency and then add a teaspoon or two of vanilla for taste. I never measure the glaze ingredients.
