Say it's 3 AM and you want a donut,
or you're craving toast but there's no butter.
And what are you gonna do with the half and half that Jerk Terry H. left behind?
Just kidding.
Happy 65th Papa Hacker.
These problems solved and others created today
on Household Hacker.
Let's get down to brass tacks and solve your midnight munchy madness
with quick and simple homemade donuts.
Check out how simple this is!
Just cover the bottom of a deep pan of cooking oil
and set the stove to high.
While it's heating up,
grab some of those frozen biscuits you thought would be a good idea to buy
and punch out the center with a bottle cap.
See where this is going?
After a few minutes your oil should be heated
and ready for a foreign body to enter its murky waters.
With some tongs, lay your hole-y biscuit into the oil and let it sit until the bottom becomes a nice golden brown.
At this point, simply flip it over
and continue frying until the fresh side also becomes a golden brown.
Pull them from the oil and place them on paper towels to dry out.
While you wait, pour some powdered sugar into
a bag and finally, place the donuts one at a time in the
bag and shake 'em up.
Low and behold,
your delicious bounty is ready to be consumed by your ever gaping muzzle.
Donut taze me, bro!
(laugh, snort) You serious? What?
Well you'd be rotten to doubt this next one until you've tried our insider information.
Apples are one of the most visually appealing fruits
you can get your hands on.
This is, of course, until you slice them up and
set 'em out.
Within a few short minutes,
they begin to turn a brownish hue and lose all their appeal.
But with a few squirts of fresh citrus juice,
you can stop it all at its core, keeping
the fruit looking nice and fresh.
How sublime!
Making your own mayonnaise might not only sound scary,
but perhaps downright disgusting.
Well I assure you my friends, it's neither.
Get two tablespoons of lemon juice and add 'em
to a mixing jar. Follow it up with a tablespoon of salt
and hell, you might as well as crack an egg in there as well.
Finally, pour half a cup of white olive oil into the jar
and let it settle for about one minute. Place an immersion blender into your jar
and pulse the blade as you slowly rise it to the top.
Keep repeating this process until the mixture thickens
and begins to look like mayonnaise because believe
it or not, this is mayonnaise.That's really all there is to it.
You can add salt and spice to your own taste, but then
get busy making that crazy sandwich. Not your thing?
Mayo consider ice cream instead? This is the coolest
one we've got. and answers the age-old question of
what to do with the ominous carton of half and half.
Fill up a container with ice cubes, the smaller, the better.
Then, pour about a half a cup of salt into the ice. This'll
help reduce the temperature below freezing. Now
assemble our mixture. Get a strong Ziploc bag and pour
a third of a cup of the half and half into it. Follow that up
with a tablespoon of sugar and optionally, half a
teaspoon of vanilla extract for flavor.
Yo dawg, I heard you like bags, so seal up that first bag,
then place that bag inside another bag of the same size
while working up the air. Bag-nificent. Now you can
place your mixture into the ice container or go with
an easier method and put it all into a larger Ziploc bag.
Once it's all together, begin working the ice around
the bag, making sure the ingredients inside are moving
around with everything, getting equal attention.
Once it begins to stiffen, let it sit for another minute,
and then pop it all open. Carefully scoop out your finished ice cream and enjoy.
The amounts we used make about one large scoop,
so if you want more, just double it up,
or triple it up. Your hands are probably pretty cold after
that one, it's too bad that your butter is too, 'cause you really want some toast.
You want to quickly and evenly soften a stick of butter. All you need is a glass of water
and a microwave. Just heat the water up for 45 seconds
and dump it out place the glass over the frozen butter
and let it go. *dude you need to stop doing that. what?*
Anyway, after a minute, your butter should be softened
and ready to spread. Speaking of butter, it's time to raise the barn, flip off your bonnet,
and churn up some homemade goodness.
Big shoutout to our Amish viewers. Making your own
butter is deceptively simple, but if you've got a strong arm,
simply fill a mason jar or other container halfway with
heavy cream. Seal it off at the top and literally just shake the jar around for 5-10 minutes.
Hey Dylan. Yes, Scott. That's a pretty cool T-shirt you got there.
I was wondering if you happened to get it at crowdmade.com/householdhacker
I did in fact get it at crowdmade.com/householdhacker
Word on the street is that this awesome HouseholdHacker logo t-shirt
is now for sale and when purchased, really helps support the guys making this cool content.
Wow. That's great. I'm heading there right now.
Alright, so we've been shaking for quite a while. Once the
liquid inside stops squishing around, the butter should be good to go.
Pop the lid and have a little look-see. If you've got a creamy massive goodness, then you're all set.
You can pour out the remaining liquid and enjoy your buttery butter butter.
So far, we've covered dessert and important condiments, now let's end it with
a quick and simple delicious breakfast trick
of yolks on the go. Grab yourself a coffee mug and crack two eggs right in there.
Now splash a little milk inside, and add salt and pepper. With a fork, beat the eggs up
and get a nice mixture for some scrambled egg action.
Now place the mug into the microwave and nuke it for 45 seconds.
Once time is up, pull the mug and flip the egg over in place. Set it back in the microwave
and you have another 45 second round. Now, remember to keep an eye on it. If it begins to rise over the top,
it's time to pull it. Hey, look at that, it's done. We've got ourselves a delicious scrambled egg-spress.
