Ingredients
- 1 package 8-count refrigerated biscuits
- 1/2 cup sugar
- 1 teaspoon cinnamon or more, to taste
- vegetable oil for frying
Instructions
- Heat 3 inches of oil in a large, deep skillet or deep fryer to 350 degrees.
- Using a donut cutter (or the cap from a 2 liter soda bottle), cut the center from each biscuit.
- In a small bowl, combine the sugar and cinnamon and set aside.
- Place a few donuts in the pan of hot oil, being careful not to crowd the pan. Fry until golden brown on one side, about 1-2 minutes, and then flip and fry until gold brown on the other side.
- Remove and drain on a paper towel lined plate. Repeat with the remaining donuts.
- Shake each hot donut in the sugar and cinnamon mixture to coat.
- Serve warm for the best taste and texture.

Notes
- Any variety of canned biscuits will work, but we prefer the flaky layers.
- For more topping variations, scroll up to the blog post.
- Donuts will keep at room temperature for up to 2 days, but are best served fresh.
