Nicole, a creative culinary enthusiast, shares her ingenious method of transforming Uncrustables, those pre-made peanut butter and jelly sandwiches, into delectable and crispy doughnuts. Inspired by the renowned comedian Bert Kreischer, Nicole's recipe promises an exciting twist on a childhood favorite.
Ingredients:
- 1 package of Uncrustables (any flavor)
- 1/2 cup of all-purpose flour
- 1/2 teaspoon of baking powder
- 1/4 teaspoon of salt

- 1/2 cup of granulated sugar
- 1/2 teaspoon of ground cinnamon
Instructions:
- In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the milk, egg, and vegetable oil.
- Add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients and whisk until just combined. Do not overmix.
- Heat a large skillet over medium heat. Add the vegetable oil and let it shimmer.
- Dip each Uncrustable into the batter, ensuring that it is fully coated.
- Carefully place the coated Uncrustable into the hot oil.
- Cook for 2-3 minutes per side, or until golden brown and crispy.

- In a small bowl, combine the granulated sugar and ground cinnamon.
- While the doughnuts are still warm, roll them in the cinnamon sugar mixture to coat.

Tips:
- To make sure the doughnuts are cooked evenly, use a thermometer to monitor the oil temperature. It should be around 350 degrees Fahrenheit.
- If you don't have a thermometer, you can test the oil by dropping a small piece of bread into it. If the bread sizzles and floats to the surface, the oil is ready.
- Don't overcrowd the skillet when cooking the doughnuts. Cook them in batches if necessary.
- Serve the doughnuts warm with your favorite dipping sauce, such as chocolate syrup, caramel sauce, or whipped cream.
Unleash your creativity and experiment with different flavors. You can use any type of Uncrustables, such as strawberry jelly, grape jelly, or even Nutella. You can also add additional spices or toppings to the cinnamon sugar mixture, such as nutmeg, cardamom, or chopped nuts.
