I made Doug naughty, naughty donuts to take to work today.
Why are they naughty? Because they are WAY too easy for the amount of amazing that they taste.
Talk about melt in your mouth amazing and buttery and oh so sweet, sweet, heavenly goodness.
They ARE GOOD.
You need canned biscuits (anything BUT the flakey layer kind).
Melted butter in a shallow bowl(4 tbls per 8 biscuits give or take)
Sugar & Cinnamon in a shallow bowl.
Mixed together in your favorite proportions...I like a nice medium brown mixture.
Veggie oil to fill your pan up to about 1/2in or so.
Heat up oil for a few minutes on medium heat.
While it is heating up, cut holes in the donuts with a cookie cutter or some other circular object
(stars would be cute too!)
When the donuts have cooled enough to handle...using your fingers dip one side in the melted butter, let the excess drip off, dip in cinnamon and sugar mixture. Get it nice and coated. Flip over and repeat for the other side.
I ate all of these.
Just kidding. I sent them to work with Doug. But I made a practice batch on Saturday to see if they would still be amazing a day later...and they were. :) And I had more of those than I should.
You are welcome. Or I'm sorry.
50 sweet friends chimed in...:
Oh my goodness those look yummy and I will give them a try! thanks, I think, for sharing!
Oh, wow. My taste buds thank you for sharing, my hips do not. I have to try these babies!
Amazed.
Canned biscuits are an amazing thing!
my dad used to make these for us growing up. i loved when he'd let us shake them in a brown paper bag to get the cinammon and sugar all over nice and good. so yummy!
yum! I've made donuts that way but I haven't tried dipping them in butter with cinnamon sugar. That sounds so good! I usually either spread some cinnamon sugar honey on one side, or I make glaze with powdered sugar, vanilla, and a little lemon juice.
I LOVE making Pioneer Woman's French Breakfast Puffs and there are never any leftovers. But this looks so much quicker when you dont have a ton of time. Less mess too. Thanks for sharing!
One of the only sweets my husband likes are donuts. I'll have to make these for him:)
THANK YOU for sharing how you made them!
i think i am literally gaining weight reading your posts this month!!! the kids saw this on the computer and wanted some for tomorrow....oh. no.
love love all your wonderful ideas!!!!
Thanks for visiting my poor neglected blog. I'm tickled that you still have me on your radar. :-) For some reason, my blog is not letting me post comments (on my OWN blog).
Those look delicious! I think I slobbered a little bit on my chin. You know, these would be a nice treat for Christmas morning! Thanks for sharing!
We make these too, but OMG...I never thought about dipping these in butter...oh yeah...
I am pregnant and I lovehate you SO MUCH RIGHT NOW ZOMG.
Totally making this! And by the way, you are the inspiration behind me making my husband weekly treats to take to work. It seems like such a nice way to give back to him for all his hard work at the hangar every day. ~Heather
I love that you send treats with him to work on Mondays. Such a sweet blessing to him and his co-workers.
I make these all the time! SO easy and yummy :)
ps Came over from my BlogHer ads. You're featured :)
Wow! Such an awesome idea. I am totally doing this for my family over Christmas! Love you blog by the way!

We made these a while back minus the butter...and now I think we need to have them again with the butter! Butter makes everything better:)
I just made these. SO glad that after making chicken and dumplings last night I saved the leftover biscuits rather than throwing them out.
These were amazing and so easy to make. I used the centers to make doughnut holes for my 4 year old, and while the holes were cooling off I stuffed in some chocolate chips. I'm making more tomorrow, thanks!
My husband had friends over last night to watch the game and I whipped these up in 10 minutes - they were a huge hit! What a good idea :)
I just made these! They were terrific, and the first donuts I've ever made. Thank you so much! I blogged them here, if you'd like to see.

Aw, haven't seen these in years! My sweet mama used to make these for breakfast when we had our birthday sleepovers. She frosted some with chocolate icing, some with vanilla icing, and some rolled in cinnamon sugar. I think she just stuck her thumb through the middle and made a hole, though. Thanks for the memories.
Oh my, my mother used to make a version of these. We just snpipped them with a scissors into 3rds and made doughnut holes!! These "look" much fancier!! lol will have to try your way!
WOWZA...Hubby THANKS you for these...they are delish!
I can't wait to make these for little Grandchildren. Thanks for Sharing! Just became a follower of yours. :0)
Found you on pinterest. Amazing, my mom made these for us when we were kids (probably more than 30 years ago). We were pretty poor back then so this was a huge treat for us. I think we just fried them in oil and dusted with powdered sugar. Thanks so much for the great memories this brings back. ;)
If I enjoy these donuts as much as I enjoyed reading about your experience making them, I am going to be HAPPY!
OMG. Made these this morning on a snowy day. Dangerously easy and unbelievably DELICIOUS!!
Love these. Momma made them when I was a little girl but we always used powdered sugar and cinnamon. I'd like to try them this way. :-)
I blogged about your donuts here:

These were AWESOME!! I was NOT expecting these to turn out as awesome as they did. I cut out a hole using a shot glass, then whipped them up and was a little hesitant since I couldn't find an oil temp to shoot for and I don't ever fry things, but I kept my cast iron set to "6" on my cooktop and started cooking with a donut hole until I saw some bubbles and it started to brown. Quickly got a feel for how to cook up the rest. As for dressing them up... Grabbed a paper bag and dumped in the cinnamon and sugar and shook away. These were so quick and easy I felt like I was cheating rather than making somehthing from scratch! Thanks so much for sharing!
i have to make these next week- i mean HAVE TO!
THANKS FOR SHARING!
We use to make these at my grandma's house 38 years ago!:). Sweet memories for sure!
Just made these tonight for the hubby and kids and they are amazing! So quick! Thanks for posting~
I found this via Pinterest and made them this morning, and they are AMAZING! What was even better was how easy they are to make, no bowls or mixing - it was an easy cleanup. :)
Oh lordy, these look delicious! Can't wait to try them! Thanks for posting :)
Thank you so very much for sharing this great recipe....when my kids were little and still home I use to make these, precious memories how they linger! My husband will be in hog heaven!
WOW!!! this is awesomeness at its fineness!! I am sorry too becuase I am going to do this! thinking of different glazes I can do now... =)
As soon as I saw the recipe, I needed to try it--like, right then. About 15 minutes later, hubby & I were enjoying the donuts. It was easy, fast, and delicious--everything I look for in a great recipe. Thank you!
AAAHHHH--mazing!! :)
These are just as great glazed:
3 cups Powdered Sugar
1/2 teaspoon Salt
1/2 teaspoon Vanilla
1/2 cup Cold Water Or Milk
1. Mix all glaze ingredients in a bowl until completely smooth.
2. One by one, dip doughnuts into the glaze until halfway submerged. (Note: completely submerge doughnut holes, then remove with slotted spoon.)
4. Remove from glaze, then turn right side up on a cooling rack over a cookie sheet (to catch dripping glaze.)
5. Serve warm if possible, or room temperature.
Wow! I actually have 2 cans if biscuits just waiting in my fridge to be made. I am all over this recipe! Thank you so very much!
I had a look around your blog and it's totally rad...so happy to have found it and am now following. Cheers!
Found on Pinterest and had to try it. See how mine turned out http://lifeawayfromtheofficechair.blogspot.com/
Thanks for the help. Love your blog btw.
I made these for breakfast this morning. They.were.fantastic! I shook the donut holes in a paper bag with powdered sugar and the leftover cinnamon sugar mixture and they were super delicious. My kids said this was the best breakfast ever! And so easy. Thanks!!
I made them!
I have never been so impressed with a donut recipe. They were melt in your mouth scrumptious!!
These are going to be a once a month indulgence around my house from now on. Thank you, doll!
Oh wow :) These look AMAZING!!! I am so trying these this weekend!
I loved this, thanks so much! I made these tonight, with a delicious nutella topping for the donuts, my family loved them, I call them my Oscar donuts, for celebrating the Academy Awards tonight!
see my pic on facebook...Lori Gray.
L-O-V-E doughnuts! So when I spotted the pin of yours I had to give 'em a try...success!
My guys were so thrilled to have fresh doughnuts for Sunday breakfast I had to blog about it! - http://www.fortuitoushousewife.com/2012/02/doughnut-fix-pin-accomplished.html
OMG!!!! SO GOOD!!!! Thank you so much for posting this! I will be doing some extra workouts after these donuts- but SO worth it!!! Thanks!
Oh Em Gee!!!!! I'm on a total sugar high right now, but in <3 with these! It only took about 20 minutes total to make them, 1 can of biscuits made more than my family of 3 could eat for dessert and now, my boyfriend might decide he wants to get married (we are both anti-marriage, that's how much he loved them).
The only unfortunate thing about this is that now, I wonder if I'll ever get my son to move out when he graduates haha.
Mind if I link up to this post when I post about it on my blog?
