* "Homemade" Donuts *

"Homemade" donuts bring back such fun memories for me. Back in my USU days, I had the best roommate (hey Melissa!) that taught me how to make these. We would go country dancing with bunch of friends on Thursday nights and then invite our friends over for "homemade" donuts. We also would have game nights on Sunday after ward prayer (anyone remember those from student singles wards?) and make donuts to eat while we played. Thanks for teaching me how to make these, Melissa!
These are seriously so easy, cheap, & yummy...and unhealthy :) My kids LOVE them every once in a while we make this "special treat."

* "Homemade" Donuts *
Refrigerator Tube Biscuits
Vegetable (or whatever) Oil
Cinnamon & Sugar
Milk, Powdered Sugar, & Vanilla for icing

So, this isn't really a "recipe" but I'll just explain how we make them. First, pour about an inch of oil into a large pot. Allow to heat up over medium heat. It is ready when you can drop a drop of water in it and it sizzles. Next, you get out your can of refrigerator biscuits (Walmart sells a 4-pack for like $2). Flatten them out and cut a hole in the middle (we use one of our kids' medicine cups...it's the perfect size). When oil it ready, fry 3-4 donuts at a time until brown on both sides. Continue until all the donuts are done. Place on plate with paper towel to allow some of the oil to drain off.
Next, mix up a simple icing using powdered sugar, milk, & vanilla. I don't know the exact measurements I use but you could start out with a cup or so of powdered sugar, 1 teaspoon of vanilla, and enough milk to make it the consistency you want. Also, mix up some cinnamon & sugar in a bowl (not sure of the measurements again.)

Dip donuts in cinnamon and sugar and then drizzle with icing.
SOOOOO delicious!!! :)
