 I love oatmeal, in cookies or cake. I cut the sugar in this cake. Tastes the batter before adding more than 1/2 cup of white and brown sugar.

SEMI HOME MADE; NO YEAST DONUTS

No Yeast Pioneer Donuts
(or, try the Semi homemade style)
Ingredients:
1. 1 cup buttermilk
2. 1 egg
3. 2 ½ cup flour (part baking whole wheat)
4. ½ cup sugar (use 1/4 cup honey if using whole wheat flour)
5. 1 tsp. baking soda
6. ½ tsp baking powder
7. 1 tsp sea salt
8. 1 tsp. Nutmeg or Cinnamon
9. 1/8 cup warm margarine or oil
Combine all the dry ingredients then combine the wet ingredients with the sugar or honey and butter and mix well. Roll out to ¼” thick and cut with a doughnut cutter, or a large circle and a smaller lid (bottle cap) for the hole in the center. Fry in hot olive or sunflower oil until brown, drain on absorbent paper. Sprinkle with powdered or plain sugar or water and powdered sugar for the frosting.(I've also, used the quick tub of cream frosting's in a pinch?) Or use ½ teaspoon in 1 tbls of sugar-Cinnamon to sprinkle on donuts. This is great on buttered toast too. By P.T. Sherman ©2006
Buy frozen roll dough or try these semi home variety's for a quick no yeast treat.

For a Doughnut glaze, mix powdered sugar with water and a little lemon juice. I’m not sure of the exact measurements, I usually just start pouring. But start with about 1-2 T water and 1/4 tsp lemon juice. Then add powdered sugar until you have a smooth glaze.
* Or, Use some cake icing and I heated it for 30 seconds in the microwave until it became runny. I then dipped the donuts in the icing and topped with sprinkles. The kids loved it!! Next time try a milk and powdered sugar glaze
