Easy doughnuts!!

My kids love doughnuts but when I buy a box from our local bakery the doughnuts seem to not be so "fresh" like it says on the package....and a day later I have stale doughnuts!!!! And at around 6-7 bucks a box that's deemed "a waste". That's when the lightbulb came on.....*DING*.....why not make my own?!? And at $1.79 a can....I get 8 doughnuts and 8 doughnut holes from one can!!!! VOILA!!!

2cups vegetable oil
1can (16.3 oz) Pillsbury Grands Flaky Layers refrigerated biscuits
1/2cup sugar
Cinnamon
3/4teaspoon fine sea salt(optional)
Dulce de leche(optional)
Chocolate syrup(optional)

Directions

In deep fryer or 2-quart heavy saucepan, heat oil over medium heat to 350°F.

Separate dough into 8 biscuits. Using small round cookie cutter, cut a hole out of each biscuit.

Gently place 1-2 doughnuts or 3-4 doughnut holes in hot oil. Fry on one side until golden brown. Gently turn with tongs; fry until other side is golden brown. Place on cooling rack; cool 2 to 3 minutes.

Meanwhile, in small bowl, mix sugar and cinnamon or sugar and sea-salt; pour onto plate. While doughnut holes are still warm, add to sugar-cinnamon or salt; turn to coat.

Ok so we made the cinnamon-sugar ones for kids and even put chocolate syrup in some. And for the adults we did sea salt-sugar.....we served the salt-sugar ones with a dulce de leche dipping sauce. <------AMAZING!!
