The McClure Family introduced us to these amazing donuts. They were so cheap and easy to make that we’ve made them several times. I like them better than any other donut (or dessert) in the world!
Ingredients:
1 Container of Biscuits (we use Grands!), not the “flaky” version.
Powdered Sugar
Cocoa Powder (optional)
Oil
Directions:
Heat oil in deep fryer to about 360 degrees. You can probably use a deep frying pan as well, but I would burn the house down if I tried that, so I’ll leave that to the more experienced. Using a small circle cutter (if you don’t have one, just use a knife), cut a circle out of the middle of every biscuit. Keep the middles, these become your donut holes. Without over crowding the fryer, place about 2 donuts and 2 donut holes in the fryer. Flip when lightly browned. While frying, put a few scoops of powdered sugar in a bowl. If you would like to try fudge, combine 1/2 cocoa powder and 1/2 powdered sugar in a bowl. Fudge looks powdery until you touch it, then becomes gooey and delicious. When the second side of donut is lightly browned, remove from oil, deposit in bowl and flip around to coat in mixture. Enjoy!

Since we keep everything but the biscuits in stock (purchased for much lower prices at Aldi), we only have to buy the biscuits. Making our serving cost around 15 cents per donut!
