Ingredients




Pizza dough (homemade or bought from store)

Vegetable oil

1 pint of raspberries
1 1/2 cups of sifted powdered sugar

Preparation

1 In a large pot for frying, add enough vegetable oil so the oil is about 2 inches up from the bottom of the pan.  Heat should be about medium. 2 In the meantime, roll out your pizza dough to about ½ inch thick.  Make sure there is enough flour on your board so the dough doesn’t stick. 3 Using a round cookie cutter and an apple corer/something else small and round, cut out your donuts. 4 Gather the scraps and re-roll to make more donuts. I don’t’ have a candy thermometer, so I can’t tell you the temperature, but you’ll know that the temperature of your oil is at the right temperature when you add a piece of the dough and it immediately bubbles up to the top. 5 Once the oil is at the proper temperature, drop in your donuts and cook on each side for about 30-40 seconds. 6 Drain onto a plate lined with paper towels. 7 In a small bowl, macerate about ½ a handful of raspberries with either your hands or a fork. 8 Add 1 cupd of sifted powdered sugar and mix vigorously until you create a glaze/frosting. 9 Add more powdered sugar to get a relatively thick glaze/loose frosting texture. 10 Dip the donuts into the glaze/frosting. 11 Let set for a few minutes and then eat!
