Our Own Donuts

Recipe Index: Breads/Pastries > Doughnuts/Pastries

Ingredients
Vegetable oil
1 package (7 1/2 ounces) refrigerated country-style biscuits (10 biscuits)
1/4 cup confectioners' sugar

Directions
1. In a soup pot, heat 1 inch of oil over medium-high heat until hot but not smoking.

2. Separate the biscuits and lay flat on a cutting board. Using an apple corer or a soda bottle cap, cut out a small circle in the center of each biscuit, forming rings.

3. Place the rings and the holes in the hot oil a few at a time and cook for 1 to 2 minutes, or until golden brown, turning halfway through the cooking. Drain on paper towels. Sprinkle with the confectioners' sugar and serve immediately.

Note: Don't stop there! How about sprinkling these with cinnamon or drizzling with melted chocolate or a sugar glaze? You can even decorate these with frosting that's been mixed with food coloring, then top with rainbow or chocolate sprinkles.

Yield: 10 donuts
