Ingredients

Vegetable oil as needed

1 pkt refrigerated country-style biscuits (7.5 oz),

(ten biscuits)

1/4 cup confectioners' sugar

Preparation

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

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.

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.

This recipe yields 10 donuts.

Comments: Don't stop there! How 'bout 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
