1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/4 cup sugar
Icings:
2 cups confectioners' sugar, divided
5 tablespoons milk, divided
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/4 cup cocoa powder
2 cans large buttermilk biscuits
Assorted sprinkles
Directions
Heat 2 inches oil in a large pot or Dutch oven to 350 degrees F. In a shallow bowl, stir together the ground cinnamon and sugar and set aside. In a small bowl, whisk together 1 cup of confectioners' sugar, 2 tablespoons of milk and 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract, set aside. This is the vanilla icing. In another bowl, whisk together 1 cup of confectioners' sugar, 1/4 cup of cocoa powder and 3 tablespoons of milk and set aside. This is the chocolate icing.
Lay out the biscuits on a cutting board and with a 1 1/2-inch round cookie or biscuit cutter, cut out a hole from the middle of each biscuit. Fry them in the oil until golden and then flip with tongs to fry the other side. You can even fry the donut holes. Drain on paper towels and then toss in the cinnamon-sugar or ice and decorate with sprinkles, as desired.
I realize this is not a very healthy recipe, but if you have little kids they will LOVE it! My boys beg me to make these and they are so easy! We usually make these on holidays and then I get sprinkles for whatever holiday it is! What a wonderful recipe to get your kids in the kitchen with you!
My name is Katy Judy and I was directed to your blog by my daughter Kimberly Funk from Iowa. I live in Las Vegas. I enjoy creating dishes that taste good and challenge my creativity. I follow a number of cooking shows and am a Foodnetwork groupie. Enjoyed getting a look at your site and browsing and will be back soon. My next adventure is going to be deep dish Chicago Pizza. I currently have an attraction to yeast and it is leading me down different roads!
