Donuts: part one

My friend Megan posted a recipe for Buttermilk Donuts last week on her blog and it made me crave some fall sweetness. I remember, as a child, going over to a relative's house and making donuts... it was a lovely fall tradition and it made me want that for Atticus, and for my niece and nephews (and, secretly, I know that donut making will automatically give me the spot of the 'cool Aunt' *wink*).

So Atticus and I got to trying out making donuts...

we only got the dough made today...

things take a bit longer when a 16 month-old is part of the process...

I'll post a 'part two' (hopefully tomorrow) when we get them fried up!
