That alone should convince you to try making your own doughnuts at least once. It's a very easy process and one the whole family can help out with.
Preparation is the key to making doughnuts without it turning into complete chaos.
Have all of your utensils, ingredients and especially your coatings laid out, and give yourself plenty of space. The first time we made our homemade doughnuts we used premade biscuits in the tube. This is so much fun, and it just doesn't get any easier. Press down in the middle of each biscuit until it cuts through the dough. Remove hole and set aside on a cookie sheet.
