" It seems like nothing&amp;#039;s more popular than a good dessert mash-up these days, and you won&amp;#039;t believe this new creation the Internet&amp;#039;s going crazy for. The &amp;quot;Wonut&amp;quot; \u2014 or Doffle, as we like to call it \u2014 from the Waffles Caf\u00E9 in Chicago is part waffle, part doughnut, and all sorts of delicious. As our token sugar nut and copycat recipe\u2013lover, I immediately set out to create a DIY recipe for you all to try at home. It&amp;#039;s pretty simple actually: Make waffles (using a slightly thicker batter than usual), then deep fry until crisp, dunk in a sugar glaze, and frost. The result is a finger-licking treat that tastes exactly like a state fair funnel cake \u2014 and who doesn&amp;#039;t love that? Want to speed things up? Start with store-bought waffle mix and skip cutting the waffles into rounds. They taste just as good fried up as wedges.  WAFFLE DOUGHNUTS Makes: about 1 dozen Doughnut \u2022 2 cups all-purpose flour \u2022 1 1/2 teaspoon baking powder \u2022 1 teaspoon baking soda \u2022 1/2 teaspoon salt \u2022 1 1/2 cup sour cream \u2022 1/2 cup milk \u2022 2 large eggs \u2022 2 to 3 tablespoons granulated sugar \u2022 1 teaspoon vanilla extract \u2022 4 tablespoons butter, melted \u2022 Vegetable oil, for frying \u2022 1 cup confectioners&amp;#039; sugar \u2022 2 to 3 tablespoons water \u2022 1 teaspoon vanilla extract Frosting \u2022 8 tablespoons butter, at room temperature \u2022 2 tablespoons sour cream \u2022 1 cup confectioners&amp;#039; sugar \u2022 1/2 to 1 teaspoon vanilla extract \u2022 Food coloring, for tinting \u2022 Sprinkles, for sprinkling To make the donuts: 1. Preheat waffle maker as manufacturer directs. 2. In large bowl, whisk flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. In large liquid measuring cup, whisk sour cream, milk, eggs, granulated sugar, and vanilla. Stir wet ingredients into dry ingredients just until combined (batter will be slightly lumpy). Stir in melted butter. 3. In another large bowl, whisk together confectioners&amp;#039; sugar, water, and vanilla. 4. Pour 1/4 cup batter into center of waffle maker. Cover and cook as manufacturer directs; loosen with fork and transfer to wire rack set over rimmed baking sheet. Repeat with remaining batter. 5. Heat 2 of inches vegetable oil in heavy-bottomed saucepot on medium heat until deep-fry thermometer registers 350 degrees F. Cut waffles into circles using round cookie cutters (stamp out smaller circles from centers to make doughnut shapes, if desired). A few at a time, fry waffles 1 minute per side or until golden. While still warm, dip in sugar glaze to coat and transfer to prepared wire rack. Let cool. To make the frosting: 1. Beat butter with mixer on medium-high speed until smooth. Beat in sour cream until combined. Reduce mixer speed to low, add confectioners&amp;#039; sugar. Increase speed to medium-high and beat, scraping down bowl as needed, until smooth. Beat in vanilla and food coloring. 2. Spread frosting on cooled doughnuts. Top with sprinkles, if desired.
