"Homemade Glazed donuts are fluffy, airy, and melt-in-your-mouth soft. Think of these as gourmet Krispy Kreme donuts."  Comment from Natasha's Kitchen

Krispy Kreme donuts are something I would gladly have as a meal and forget regular food.

Nutella Bomboloni

These delicious little donuts remind me so much of a pastry my Nana used to make.  The photo takes me back to a special place and time where I can smell the donuts and feel the burn on my tongue since I could not wait for them to cool off!

This recipe comes from a new discovery that I love called the Italy Food Page on Facebook.  Their link follows the recipe.

Ingredients 

• 2 jars Nutella 
• 1 lb Ricotta 
• 1 teaspoon salt 
• 1 teaspoon vanilla 
• 4 teaspoons baking powder 
• 2 cups all purpose flour 
• 4 eggs 
• 2 quarts Canola oil 
• granulated sugar 

To make donuts: In a large mixing bowl, combine 1 jar Nutella, ricotta, salt, vanilla, baking powder, flour and eggs. Mix until smooth to form dough. 

Drop heaping spoonfuls of dough into hot oil at 375° and cook for 3 to 4 minutes. 

Remove donuts from hot oil, drain on paper towels for a moment, roll in granulated sugar, and fill with Nutella. 

Serve immediately!
