Prep time: 10 minutes Cook time: 10-15 minutes Total time: 20-25 minutes Servings: 12

Ingredients

  • 1 ten-count can Texas-style biscuits or your preference
  • 1 cup sugar
  • 1½ tablespoons cinnamon
  • Vegetable oil for frying

Instructions

  1. Prepare the oil: Pour vegetable oil into a skillet to a depth of a little less than ½ an inch. Heat the oil on medium to medium-high heat for about five minutes.
  2. Combine the cinnamon and sugar: In a bowl, combine the cinnamon and sugar.
  3. Cut the biscuits: Using a small round cookie cutter, cut the center out of each biscuit to create a donut shape.
  4. Fry the donuts: Carefully drop the dough into the hot oil, watching carefully and turning when golden brown. Once the donuts are golden on both sides, remove them from the oil and place them on a paper towel-lined plate.
  5. Coat with cinnamon and sugar: Press both sides of the warm donuts into the cinnamon-sugar mixture.

Tips

  • For a healthier option, try baking the donuts instead of frying them. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and bake the donuts for 8-10 minutes, or until golden brown.
  • Experiment with different flavors by adding a pinch of nutmeg, ginger, or cardamom to the cinnamon-sugar mixture.
  • To make the donuts even more decadent, glaze them with a mixture of powdered sugar and milk or water.
  • Serve the donuts warm for the best flavor and texture.
