Time to Make the Doughnuts
Start by putting about 2” of cooking oil in a large saucepan and heat it to approximately 300 degrees.
On to doughnut construction..
I usually use 2 packages of buttermilk biscuit dough - the regular size, not the “grand”.
Take each biscuit and make a hole in the middle with your thumb. Work the dough into a general doughnut shape and set aside.
Put the dough in the pan one at a time and keep a close eye on it. These babies brown FAST. Flip as soon as you see the edge start to brown.
Rescue that little bit of brown yumminess from the oil and let recover on a nice towel (paper) - lined plate while you cook up his brothers and sisters.
In a bowl, mix together about a 1/4 cup of sugar and a tablespoon of cinnamon. Swirl it together and get ready to make these doughnuts downright sinful.
MORE! MORE! MORE!
Dredge each of our little doughnut friends through the cinnamon sugar mix and then pop them in your mouth pass them out to the drooling children waiting on the side of the counter.
Oooooh - just begging to be dunked in a mug of steamin’ hot joe.
....or fed to 2 very hungry boys.
