DONUT CHIPS EXIST. TELL YOUR FRIENDS.
Throwing away donuts offends me. Rarely do I leave any uneaten, but it happens on occasion (I am human after all), and, when it does, I revive the day-old pastries by slicing them thinly and frying them into chips. The glaze caramelizes around the crisp dough, creating what I call a “chewy crunch.”
Plus, I whip up more glaze for dipping, because what’s a chip without a dip?
Donut Chips Recipe
Total Time: 3 minutes per donut Yield: As many as you can handle
INGREDIENTS:
For the chips:
- 2 cups vegetable oil
- However many donuts you have laying around
For the dip:
- 1 ½ cups powdered sugar
- 3 tablespoons milk
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
DIRECTIONS:
- Heat oil to 350℉ in a deep fryer or heavy pot fitted with an oil thermometer.
- Slice each donut in half lengthwise, then slice each half in half, so you have 4 discs. Gently place them into the hot oil and fry until brown, about 1 minute each side.
- Transfer to a wire rack to drain and cool slightly.
- To make the dip, whisk all ingredients together in a bowl until smooth.
