Old Fashioned Biscuit Doughnuts #Recipe

Sharing is caring!

Every morning I ask my kids what they want for breakfast and 8 times out of 10 they say doughnuts. However, those can be super expensive more then once a month so I found this recipe on the Food Network a long long time ago and have been trying it periodically.  I think this weekend I finally nailed it! My kids loved these and I was pretty happy with them.

Perfecting these has been slightly difficult as it really does matter what type of oil and sugar you use.  I usually try to cook as cheaply as possibly and use whatever I have laying around, however, in this case make sure that you get the correct oil.

Ingredients:

• PEANUT oil (I have heard that coconut oil is great too!)
• Cinnamon Sugar
• Grands original biscuits (although I have the “Flakey layers” shown, these are not the best to use)

Instructions:

• Step 1: Using some sort of round cookie cutter, cut the center out of the biscuit.  Make sure that you are heating the oil as you are doing this.  I heated mine to 350 degrees.
• Step 2: Deep fry biscuit until it turns a light golden brown. 
• Step 3: Make sure to flip them using tongs and fry them until they are a light golden brown as well.
• Step 4: Once they are cooked, use tongs and remove them from the oil, place them on a paper towel for about a minute and then coat them in cinnamon sugar.  (I used regular sugar in the picture because Emberlynn does not seem to like cinnamon, but I made a batch with cinnamon sugar and OMG yum!)

I used a deep fryer, but Paula Dean recommends a dutch oven.  I have also tried a regular frying pan.  All of the above works.  My deep fryer is just easier for me.
