There are a lot of recipes for jelly doughnuts “out there,” but ours is the easiest. It’s also the yummiest!
Ingredients:
1 roll of refrigerated biscuits
powdered sugar
Texas Pepper Jelly
vegetable oil
What to do:
Pour vegetable oil into a medium-sized saucepan and turn the stove to “high.”
Cut each biscuit in half, and pile on a plate.
Put the powdered sugar on another plate.
Fill a pastry bag with Texas Pepper Jelly.
When the oil is hot, place the biscuit halves in the pan and let them deep-fry. Turn them when one side is golden. Remove with slotted spoon, and place on several layers of paper towels. After a few minutes draining, roll them through the powdered sugar.
Pick up the pastry bag and insert the tip into each doughnut, in turn, and fill with pepper jelly.
These are too good to be real. Seriously.
(This is how they put the white filling in Twinkies, you know.) (Really.)
It’s New Years Eve Day, and who has time to worry about a complicated family meal or fancy party pitch-in contribution?
I know, I know, we’re all still reeling from the sugar overload of Christmas, but these Spicy Filled Cookies aren’t like the usual holiday sweets; they’re more like, well, actual food. Spicy, delicious spicy/sweet actual food.
If your refrigerator looks anything like mine, on the inside, it’s full of containers of leftover Christmas feast: I’ve got a little turkey, a little dressing, and six or seven containers of various vegetables. There’s also about a third of a chocolate cake on top of the breadbox.
It’s Christmas Eve, and tomorrow is our biggest family reunion of the year. It’s a pitch-in, and I’m falling back on one of my family’s favorite old standby meals: Crockpot Tenderloin. Crockpot meals are so easy and hassle-free, and Christmas is a time when the less hassle, the better!
The best part of all was when everyone started fighting over the Texas Rib Candy at the table; here you can see that Nathen won first dibs on it! Of course, as my daughter said, who would want anything else when Rib Candy is on the table? Besides, there were cherries and apples in the stir-fry, and we had Cherry Apple Rib Candy! It was a match made in heaven.
