Doughnuts............

There are hundreds of recipes similar to this one, I'm sure. But when you cut to the chase. It just silly simple.

Oh, and did I say easy. Yes, easy. Uh, did I mention it is yummy. Okay, okay....I'll just shut up and give you this 'its so simple its silly' recipe.



1-2 cans biscuits (not flaky type)
powdered sugar
cinnamon and sugar
can of chocolate frosting
Oil


If you have two brown paper lunch bags you may put powdered sugar in one and cinnamon and sugar in the other. You will be dropping hot doughnuts in the bags and shaking gently to coat. if you do not have bags, bowls will work and a spoon for coating the doughnuts.

Heat oil to 350 degree. Remove biscuits from can. If you have doughnut hole cutters, great. But if you do not, take a cap off a water bottle and cut the center out of each donut. Save these 'holes' for frying too.

Oil should be at least 2-3 inches deep in skillet. I prefer a deep fryer. Do not crowd the fryer. Perhaps 2-3 donuts at a time may be added. Turn the donut when the bottom turns golden brown. Remove doughnut immediately, briefly rest on a paper towel to absorb excess oil. Then select powdered sugar or cinnamon and sugar and coat donuts either by gently shaking in a bag or spooning over donut in bowl. Or, using the chocolate frosting, ice the top of the donut. You can also use white icing and sprinkles to decorate.
