The Wonut (Waffle Donut)

Steps

• 1

  Preheat the waffle iron according to manufacturer instructions. Meanwhile, fill a large deep skillet with 2 inches of vegetable oil and heat to 375ºF.
• 2

  In a large bowl, combine the Bisquick, milk, 1/4-cup vegetable oil, and eggs. Whisk until just combined.
• 3

  Pour batter into your waffle maker and cook as directed. Remove from the waffle iron to a wire rack.
• 4

  Use the smallest biscuit cutter you have (or a sharp knife) to cut small holes out of the centers of some or all of your waffles.

  
• 5

  Place the waffles one at a time into the hot oil and fry just until golden brown, about 30 seconds per side. The waffles are already cooked, so frying goes quick – keep a close eye on them or they'll burn.
• 6

  Remove from the oil to a paper towel-lined plate and let the grease drain.

  
• 7

  Return the fried waffles to the cooling rack and top with the toppings of your choice – you can glaze them, frost them, cover them with sprinkles, nuts, etc.
• 8

  To make glaze, whisk together the powdered sugar and milk. Dunk some of the wonuts into the glaze.

  
• 9

  Top the rest of the wonuts with any topping you prefer. Some topping ideas are cake frosting, chocolate hazelnut spread, cookie butter, sprinkles, pretzels and cereal.
