Recipe Introduction


With all five boys at home, this was almost a staple at our house. Now that they're gone, I still make them. Old habits and tastes die hard!
Keep a few cans of refrigerated biscuit dough on hand. The generic or store brand works very well. Preheat oil in a deep fat fryer or electric fry pan to 425 degrees F. Fill fryer only half full of oil, and make sure that it is back from the edge of the counter and that the cord is to the back so that no one will get burned.

Mix some cinnamon and sugar for rolling the doughnuts in. You may also use confectioners' sugar. Open the can of biscuits. Cut with a doughnut cutter to get the hole. If you don't have a doughnut cutter, cut the hole out with a well washed detergent bottle lid or use a large thimble. Drop a few doughnuts at a time into hot oil, using tongs. Turn once to brown lightly on both sides. Lift out and drain on paper towels. Shake a few at a time in a paper bag to coat or roll in cinnamon sugar or confectioners' sugar. Don't forget to
cook the doughnut holes, too.

Note: I'd let the doughnuts sit for 10 minutes before frying. They seemed a little fluffier that way.
