Free Dunkin Donuts doughnut

Getting a free doughnut at Dunkin Donuts locations is a bit more complicated. You only get a free doughnut at Dunkin Donuts locations if you purchase a drink.

Celebrate your own National Doughnut Day

Everybody knows that doughnuts aren’t exactly the healthiest of treats. Celebrating National Doughnut Day doesn’t have to mean going to Krispy Kreme locations or Dunkin Doughnuts locations. Instead, you can try making your own doughnuts. Start with a sweet dough that is leavened with baking powder, then fry it. If it is your first time making doughnuts, try this recipe:

• Single large egg
• One quarter-cup sugar
• 1/4 cup honey or agave nectar
• 1/2 cup milk or liquid
• 2 tablespoons melted shortening
• 2 cups sifted flour
• 2 teaspoons baking powder
• Melted butter or frosting or sugar for topping

Mix wet ingredients together, then add dry ingredients. Put the dough in the fridge or freezer until it is cold enough to work with, then cut it out into the shapes you would like, about 1/2 an inch thick. Heat vegetable oil to 375 degrees while the dough is chilling. Once you've cut out the shapes, fry them for a few minutes on each side. Drain the doughnuts on paper towel, and top to your pleasure.
