Easy Cinnamon Sugar Donuts
Indulge in the sweet simplicity of these cinnamon sugar donuts, a perfect treat to brighten up any day.
Ingredients:
- Canned biscuits (not the flaky kind)—I used Pillsbury buttermilk Grands
- 4 tablespoons melted butter (for 8 biscuits)
- Cinnamon and sugar mix to taste
- Vegetable oil for frying
Directions:
- Fill a large frying pan or skillet with 1/2 inch of vegetable oil. Heat the oil over medium-high heat for a few minutes until hot.
- While the oil is heating, use a cookie cutter or a small round object to cut holes out of each biscuit. Save the small pieces you cut out to make donut holes.
- Carefully place the biscuits in the hot oil. Fry until they are golden brown on one side, then use tongs to flip them over and brown the other side. Add the donut holes to the oil and fry them as well.
- Once the donuts and donut holes are golden brown on both sides, transfer them to a paper towel-lined plate to drain any excess oil.
- After the donuts have cooled slightly, dip each one into the melted butter, letting any excess butter drip off.
- Coat each buttered donut in the cinnamon sugar mixture, ensuring an even coverage all around.
- Serve the donuts warm for the best experience.
These Easy Cinnamon Sugar Donuts are not only delicious but also incredibly fun to make.
