Servings: 8
Cost: $2.67, $0.33 per Servings
Ingredients
- 1 tube refrigerated biscuits (I used Pillsbury Original Grands Flaky Lakers 8 ct)
- vegetable oil (enough to fill your saucepan about 2" deep)
- ½ cup white sugar
- 1 tablespoon ground cinnamon
Instructions
- In a small bowl, combine ½ cup granulated sugar and 1 tablespoon ground cinnamon. Stir until well combined. Make sure the bowl is large enough to coat the donuts.
- Pour enough vegetable oil into a small saucepan to fill it about 2 inches deep. Heat the oil over medium heat until it reaches 350°F.
- While the oil is heating, use an apple corer or small round cutter to cut the center out of each biscuit from 1 tube (8-count) refrigerated biscuits.
- Carefully place one biscuit at a time into the hot oil. Fry each biscuit for exactly 1 minute on the first side. Flip the biscuit and fry for 1 additional minute on the second side until cooked through and golden brown.
- Remove the donuts with a slotted spoon and place them on a paper towel-lined plate to drain. Let the donuts cool for 2 minutes. While still warm, roll each donut in the cinnamon-sugar mixture until evenly coated on all sides. Repeat with the remaining biscuits. Serve warm and enjoy!

Notes
Have fun trying different toppings! We love this cinnamon sugar topping, but a powdered sugar topping is also a hit at our house. And don't forget a glaze with some sprinkles!
