Cinnamon and Sugar Doughnuts

From the Kitchen of: Yolanda Caccamo Quackenbush

Ingredients:

*1 can of Pillsbury Buttermilk Biscuits

* 1 Cup of Sugar

* 1 1/2 TBSP of cinnamon

* 1 Stick of butter

* Vegetable oil for frying

Procedure:

*Pour oil into skillet to the depth of a little less than 1/2 an inch and heat on medium to medium high for about five minutes.

* In a bowl, melt butter in the microwave

* In a separate bowl, combine cinnamon and sugar.

* Using a 1 ½ inch Biscuit cutter (or a bottle cap will work), cut the center out of each biscuit.

* Drop dough into hot oil, watching carefully and turning when golden.  It takes about 1 min 30 seconds on each side. (I turn them with chop sticks)

* Once doughnuts are golden on both sides, remove to paper towel lined cooling rack. Repeat until all dough is cooked, including doughnut holes.

* Dip both sides of each doughnut into melted butter, then press both sides into cinnamon sugar mixture. *Serve warm.

~*~ TIP~*~ Feel free to make powdered doughnuts by dipping them into Powdered Sugar or Glazed Doughnuts by making a simple milk, Butter, Vanilla and Powdered Sugar Glaze.  You can also fill them with Jelly or Chocolate Pudding! The ways are endless!

Enjoy!
