Chocolate Sin Delights

These donuts incorporate chocolate and cinnamon (the sin in the title), two of my favorite ingredients! The house smells amazing whenever I make these, and they’re particularly good with chocolate icing straight from the container if you don’t have the time or the ingredients for making a chocolate glaze yourself, an added decadence. Try them when you’re feeling a little blue, and they’re bound to lift your spirits!

Ingredients

1 1⁄4 cups granulated white sugar

2 eggs, beaten

1⁄2 cup half-and-half (whole milk, 2%, or even 1% can be substituted)

2 squares grated chocolate, about 6 tablespoons

2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted

2–3 cups flour (cake flour can be substituted)

2 teaspoons baking powder

1 tablespoon cinnamon

1 teaspoon nutmeg (fresh is best, but store-bought is good, too)

Dash of salt

Oil for frying

Canola or peanut oil, about 1 quart

Directions

In a large bowl, beat together the sugar, eggs, half-and-half, chocolate, and butter.

In a separate bowl, sift together 2 cups of flour, baking powder, cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt. Gently stir the dry ingredients into the wet until thoroughly mixed. Continue to add flour until the dough is no longer sticky to the touch and can be rolled out.

When it’s ready, roll it out onto a floured surface until the dough is 1⁄2 to 1⁄4 inch thick, and then cut out your donuts using a cutter.

Bring your oil to 350°F in a large pot or skillet. When the oil reaches the proper temperature, fry the donuts in shifts, taking care not to overcrowd your frying pan.

Turn the donuts as they rise to the surface and fry another few minutes. Total time could vary but should take approximately 4–7 minutes total.

Remove the donuts from the oil and place on a wire cooling rack. Dip your donuts into the glaze while they’re still hot, and then enjoy!

Yields 6–8 donuts
