Easy Doughnuts



3/4 cup vegetable oil
1 8-count package large refrigerated biscuits (such as Pillsbury Grands)
1/2 cup sugar
1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon

Heat 1/2 cup of the oil in a medium skillet over medium-low heat.

Place the biscuits on a cutting board. Using a 1-inch round cookie cutter or shot glass, cut a hole in the center of each biscuit, reserving the extra dough for "holes."

Test the heat of the oil by dipping the edge of a doughnut in the pan. When the oil is hot enough, the edge will bubble. Place 4 of the doughnuts and holes in the skillet and cook until golden brown, 1 to 1 1/2 minutes per side. Transfer to a wire rack or paper towel-lined plate to drain. Add the remaining oil to the skillet, reheat, and cook the remaining doughnuts and holes.

In a large bowl, combine the sugar and cinnamon. Gently toss the warm doughnuts in the mixture a few at a time. Serve warm or at room temperature.

Yield: Makes 8 doughnuts, plus holes

Oh gosh I forgot about these!! We use to make these donuts when my kids were little. We use to make some of them jelly donuts. Once the donuts cooled, you take a turkey baster and put some jelly in it, then you make a little hole in the donut and squirt in the jelly. Oh they were sooooo good!

My mom used to make doughnuts with the refrigerated biscuits all the time. They were very good. But I seem to remember her using the deep fryer to cook them. I like your way better. Thanks for the recipe.
