Description

An easy breakfast or snack.

Ingredients

  • 1-½ cup Powdered Sugar
  • ¼ cups Milk
  • 1 can (8 Oz. Can) Instant Homestyle Biscuits
  • Enough Vegetable Oil To Deep Fry

Preparation

Get out a sandwich-sized container and mix together powdered sugar and milk with a fork. Set aside.

Heat the oil for deep frying. Open the can of biscuits. Make a quarter-sized hole in the middle of the biscuit. We use a doughnut hole. Make holes in all of the biscuits.

Take a doughnut hole and place in the oil to see if it is hot enough. You can tell because the oil around the doughnut bubbles. After about two minuets, flip it over with a fork. Then put it on a plate. Fry the doughnuts and doughnut holes. When the plate is full, take the fork used for flipping them in the oil. Put it in the syrupy substance. Then put a doughnut in the glaze. Flip it over after a few seconds. Then take it out and put it on another plate. When a few are done, take a small one and give it a test. (That means eat it.) If you like it, good. If you don’t, then I am sorry.

I make these all of the time! Sometimes when I don’t have enough oil I will take the biscuits out of the package, dip in melted butter, bake for the appropriate time, dunk in the melted butter once again and then roll in sugar or toppings.

My mom always made these when I was little, and now, I make them for my kids once in a while.

We like to try various toppings on ours, including chocolate frosting (YUM) and just plain white sugar.

Always best when they’re piping hot!

We used to make these when I was a kid. We used a sewing thimble to make the holes, and then shook the finished donuts in a bag filled with a cinnamon-sugar mixture. Yummy! I’ll try the powdered sugar trick next time. Thanks for reminding me!
