Homemade Donuts

This recipe is cheap and easy to make!

Ingredients:

Refrigerated canned biscuits (the cheapest work best)
Cinnamon and sugar, mixed together for coating
Deep fryer with oil (350-375 degrees)

Directions:

Take a small film container and press it into the center of each biscuit making donut and hole... then put into heated oil to fry.  Turn donuts after the first side is browned nicely.  When done, remove from oil immediately and coat in cinnamon sugar.  I put mine in a plastic zip bag and shake well to coat. 

These are best eaten the same day!
