QUICK AND FUN DONUTS

This is a great thing to do with kids on a rainy day or even better when it's cold and snowy outside!
My kids loved these!

1 pkg buttermilk biscuits (any brand)
Canola oil
1/2 cup sugar
1 tsp. cinnamon
Large flat frying pan and donut cutter or narrow shot glass

Open package of biscuits and separate. Using a donut cutter or a shot glass, cut out the center of the biscuit, making a whole in the center. Save centers on side.
In large frying pan place about 1/2 inch canola oil. Heat on medium high, takes about 3-4 minutes. Use one of the donut holes to test the oil. When you drop in the donut hole it should sizzle and turn brown on bottom side almost immediately. Using long fork, turn over to brown other side. Now you know the oil is hot enough, drop in the donuts, gently, as many as fit in the pan, leaving room to turn them quickly. Again, using the long fork, turn the donuts as you see them brown. BE CAREFUL NOT TO BURN, they cook fast!! When browned on both sides, remove to paper towel to drain. If the oil is hot enough the donut will not absorb any oil. Finish off with the donut holes.
When all the donuts are done and have drained on the paper towel, take a large Ziploc bag, place sugar and cinnamon in bag, seal and shake gently to mix. Open bag and add 2-3 donuts at a time, shake gently, remove donuts to plate, continue until all donuts are 'sugared'.
Eat and enjoy.
Please note, best if eaten within a few hours. They do not hold up well overnight.
If you are doing this with kids around, PLEASE be careful with the hot oil!

This is a nice quick treat. Also great to make if you have someone stop in unexpectedly for coffee/tea. In the time the coffee 'perks', the donuts are done.
