we made donuts. i immediately was taken back to childhood.
after spending 15 minutes on the phone with my sweet mommy i had enough direction & information to make the sweet & delicate bites of deliciousness that reminded me of saturday mornings in our old farmhouse in western NY where my parents raised us 4 children. on acres of land that hold many memories. open fields. blueberry patches. apple orchard. a stream with a rock bridge built with sweat and our own sweet hands in the middle of a hot summer day. my dad built us a small house with a loft that encouraged hours of our summer play. a circular garden just for me at the end of the horseshoe-shaped driveway that looped through the bushes and trees that my parents planted.
they moved from that home just 1 year after i was married and moved away so southern California was my Marine husband. but my childhood memories will always take me back to that home that grew my faith, flourished my friendships and encouraged hours of creativity – Tucker Hill Road will always be my home.
Cookware & Ingredients needed for Stove Top Donuts:
Large cast iron skillet or pot // Enough oil to add about 2 – 3 inches in the bottom of the pan // Refrigerated biscuits // Hand strainer // Apple corer // Paper bags // Powdered sugar, Cinnamon & Sugar
Simple, simple, simple! A few things — heat up the oil while you’re preparing the biscuits with the apple corer and then have about 20 minutes of uninterrupted time to make several small batches of donuts, cool, toss in sugar & enjoy!
go make some donuts!! create memories with your kids!!

My grandma still makes homemade donuts! she would make several dozens and freeze them so that we could always have one just pop it into the microwave. OH, and sometimes she would make homemade glaze for them!! good memories, great times
Aimee- these look delish!!! Can’t wait to try these with the kiddos. Thanks for sharing.

Okay, seriously? Your dad built you a small farmhouse with a loft and a stream? And it was called Tucker Hill Road? C’mon. I thought that stuff was for movies and Nicholas Sparks books!!! HAHA..Seriously. This was a DARLING post, and I can’t wait to try the donuts and bring a little bit of Aimee and Tucker Hill Road into our home. =)
