Cinnamon and Sugar Donuts

Back when we were in elementary school and mom used to drive us to school, we had a weekly ritual. I have to say, I never looked forward to Fridays as much as I did in elementary and middle school because Fridays meant we left a little bit earlier so we could stop at Krispy Kreme for a donut and chocolate milk. I mean, what kid wouldn’t love that?! Yes, it involved waking up a bit earlier, but it was all for a good cause, and in my mind then, a perfectly legitimate reason to jump right out of bed.

Nothing comes close to those warm, sweet donuts, but my homemade donuts come in a close second. I haven’t yet figured out how to make my absolute favorite – Boston cream – But cinnamon and powdered sugar are pretty good runner-ups.

Some mornings, usually on the weekends, I wake up with a cooking streak. I can’t quite explain it, but I get pure joy out of whipping up delicious goodies for the ones I love… even though I don’t necessarily eat them myself. And that’s exactly what I did!

Cinnamon and Powdered Sugar Donuts

Ingredients

  • 1 can Pillsbury Biscuits, Large
  • Vegetable Oil
  • 2-3 tablespoons Cinnamon
  • ¼ cup Granulated Sugar
  • 1 stick Unsalted Butter, melted
  • ¼ cup Powdered Sugar

Instructions

  1. Heat vegetable oil in a frying pan
  2. In the meantime, take the biscuits out of the can, and using a bottle cap, or something round in nature, cut out a hole in the middle of the biscuit. Save the donut holes. [ the biscuits should look like donuts now]
  3. Place the donuts in the heated vegetable oil and fry until browned on each side.
  4. Remove from the oil onto paper towels.
  5. Once you’ve finished frying, use 3 deep bowls: one for the melted butter, one for the cinnamon and sugar mixture and one for the powdered sugar.
  6. For the cinnamon donuts, first dip both sides of the donut into the butter, then into the cinnamon mixture.
  7. For the powdered donuts, skip the butter and sprinkle powdered sugar directly onto the warm donuts.
  8. Repeat with the donut holes [they will fry up much quicker]
  9. Serve warm
