PILLSBURY DOUGHNUT MIX RECIPES

Steps:

• In small bowl, mix 1 1/4 cups of the flour, 3/4 cup of the sugar, the baking powder, baking soda and salt until well mixed. Set aside.
• In large bowl, beat eggs, milk and melted butter with electric mixer on medium speed until well blended. Add flour-sugar mixture; beat on medium speed 1 minute, scraping bowl occasionally or until smooth. Gradually stir in 1 1/2 cups of the remaining flour (dough will be slightly soft and sticky).
• Heat oil in heavy 3-quart saucepan or deep fryer to 375°F.
• Meanwhile, sprinkle work surface with 1 tablespoon flour. Gently roll dough in flour until well coated and dough is soft. Add 1 tablespoon flour at a time, if needed, to desired dough consistency. With floured rolling pin, roll dough to 1/2-inch thickness. Using 1 1/4-inch round cookie cutter dipped in flour, cut doughnut holes; reroll scraps. Keep dough covered with plastic wrap while frying.
• Carefully, drop 4 to 5 doughnut holes at a time into hot oil. Fry doughnut holes, turning once, 2 to 3 minutes or until deep golden brown. Drain on paper towels. Immediately roll each doughnut hole in remaining 1/4 cup sugar.

Steps:

• Heat oven to 425°F. Line large cookie sheet with cooking parchment paper. In small bowl, mix granulated sugar and cinnamon. On lightly floured surface, roll one pie crust into 13-inch circle; spread with 3 tablespoons of the cream cheese spread. Sprinkle with half of the cinnamon-sugar to within 1/4 inch from edge.
• Roll up tightly. With serrated knife, trim about 1/2 inch from each end; discard. Cut roll into about 24 (1/2-inch) slices. (For easier cutting, use a wet knife, cleaning it after each cut.) Place on cookie sheet about 1 inch apart. Repeat with remaining crust, cream cheese spread and cinnamon-sugar.
• Bake 20 to 22 minutes or until golden brown. Remove from cookie sheet to cooling rack; cool completely.
• Mix powdered sugar and water until smooth and drizzling consistency. Drizzle over cookies. Let stand about 15 minutes or until icing is dry.
