In our house, donuts have always meant a celebration.<\/p>\n<p>We make donuts on birthdays, holidays, to celebrate special achievements and more. When my family started eating two dozen donuts at a time, I decided it was time to learn how to make them myself.<\/p>\n<p>Since learning how to make doughnuts I&#8217;ve experimented with baked and fried versions. <a target = \"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/thehappyhousewife.com\/cooking\/chocolate-donuts\/\" rel=\"false\">Baked donuts<\/a> are easier to make, but personally I love the taste of fried. If you decide to try baked donuts, you&#8217;ll need a <a target = \"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/amzn.to\/2E8it8W\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener noreferrer\">donut pan<\/a> to bake them in the oven.<\/p>\n<p>The best part about fresh homemade donuts is that your kids can help decide how to frost them. You can choose from sprinkles, powdered sugar, powdered sugar icing, cinnamon sugar, or chocolate frosted (my favorite).<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-28281\" src=\"\/\/thehappyhousewife.com\/cooking\/files\/2008\/10\/homemade-donuts-recipe-image-1.jpg\" alt=\"Homemade donuts are easy to make and much less expensive than their store bought counterparts.
