Love Donuts

I found this on A Morris Blog before Valentine's Day this year but just didn't have time to share it then. So, off to the files it went and here it is now! I think it's a great lovey-dovey little treat.

She used a can or two of Grands biscuit dough, cut a hole in the center of each biscuit using a mini heart cutter, and then fried in hot oil. (She recommended flipping the donut over when it becomes golden colored, removing from oil and draining on a paper towel). She then dipped each donut or hole into a baggie with either cinnamon sugar mix or powdered sugar. {Close baggie and shake, shake, shake.}


Simple, right? Love the idea!

I'm a little too busy to make some for me and hubby right now...maybe somebody feels like overnighting some of their fried deliciousness to me?

ahhhhhh this brings back sweet memories. When we were newly weds and incredibly poor, we couldn't afford to always go get donuts, but we could afford the cheap 4 for $1 biscuits cans. Sometimes you could find them for 6 for $1. We would make up our own donuts. Yummy! You can also glaze them with a little powdered sugar and water and vanilla. So yummy and good with hot chocolate.

I might have to do these the night before I head out of town and send them with my hubby (in a bag so he can't see them!) to work the next day with a little note after he drops me off at the airport!

I just tried to make these and they all turned out doughy in the middle. Even the ones that i left in too long and the outside got crispy, inside doughy. What am I doing wrong? I flipped them over to get both sides. Anyone have a suggestion? I made them for my sick 5 year old, I will try again if someone has an idea?

i would try putting them in a deep fat fryer if you have one (fry daddy)... i've never used a frying pan. or maybe try a deeper pan with more oil? (not sure?)

I have made these a few times and they turned out great! I just put them in my fry daddy for a couple of minutes on each side. Then I sugar coated some and used a mock krispy kreme chocolate glaze recipe for the others. They were delicious and soooo easy to make!
