How cold is it at your house today? It’s an unbelievable 5* this morning at my house. The perfect morning to make doughnuts. You’ll be so, so glad you did!
The first thing to remember about this recipe is to use cheap canned biscuits.
Pop them out of the can – try not have a heart attack waiting for the pop – and cut them into four pieces.
Deep fry them in hot oil until they are golden brown and drain on paper towels.
While they are frying, pour about 1/2 cup of sugar in to a gallon sized ziplock baggie and add 1/2 teaspoon of cinnamon.
Close it up and shake it until it’s combined.
After you drain the doughnuts, while they are still warm, drop them into the sugar/cinnamon mixture and shake until they are covered. 
Then try not to eat them all before your family figures out what you’ve created!
One thing to note about these doughnuts is that they are absolutely divine – when they are warm and just made. But, they do not keep well. So, just keep in mind that you’ll have to eat them all when you make them. It won’t be hard, I promise.
Here’s the handy dandy printable recipe.

How would you make them a glazed donut? I love fresh donuts. I’ll make these real soon. Thanks for the great recipes
I would mix confectioners sugar and milk to create a glaze. Thank you and good luck!
What a great shortcut to delicious doughnuts! We can’t get these biscuits in the UK yet, but hopefully they will be available soon…we can get crescent rolls now (finally!). I really like sugar sprinkled doughnuts and these would be such a treat! Thank you so much for sharing and for being a part of the Hearth and Soul Link party. I hope your week is going well.
Wow! I had no idea that you couldn’t get what my family calls the “cheap” biscuits in a can. I’ve never tried this recipe with crescent rolls, but it should be worth a try! Let me know it you try it, how it turns out. Thanks so much for allowing me to be a part!
I can’t eat sugared donuts any more, but I’ll bet the grandchildren would love these. Thanks for the tip!

Tracie we use to make doughnuts with holes the same way only we cut out the hole…sometimes with our fingers. LOL And I want to thank you so much for linking up to our Celebrate Your Story link party. We hope we are providing a celebration of your post and perhaps yours will be chosen as a feature by one of the hosts.
Have a great and Blessed Day!
