Doughnuts
  • TIP: If you are using an open fire then rub washing up liquid onto the bottom of the pan before you start and it will be easier to clean afterwards
  • Mix up a batter in the mixing bowl with the fork, using the salt, flour, milk and egg
  • Make a sandwich using all 5 slices of bread, spreading jam between all the slices, but don't use any butter
  • Cut off the crusts and then cut the remaining sandwich into 4 squares
  • Dip each of the cubes into the batter
  • Fry the cubes in a hot frying pan turning frequently so that all six sides are cooked
  • Drain on the kitchen paper and eat while still hot
  • TIP: Put warm water and a squirt of washing up liquid in dirty pans before you sit down to eat and they won't be so hard to clean


Pick some of the following to complete the meal.
  • Serve with ice cream, ice cream, or custard
  • Use a tin foil frying pan to make this a backwoods recipe
