This recipe was inspired by an episode of Sandra Lee's Money Saving Meals in which she made Mini Apple Spiced Glazed Doughnuts. I thought that using the refrigerated biscuit dough was genius and its simplicity blew me away. Instead of the apple glaze, I made a simpler powdered version. They're light and crisp; almost reminiscent of the little sugar doughnuts at the Chinese restaurants. Once you learn how to make these, you won't stop.
Enjoy,

Makes 4-5 servings
( recipe can be doubled by buying more cans of dough)
* vegetable or canola oil (about 2 1/2- 3 cups)
*refrigerated biscuit dough( 1 can or however many doughnuts you'd like to make)
**Don't get flaky GRANDS biscuits. You won't get the same effect. Even the cheapest brand will be just as yummy.**
*sugar (1/4 cup)
*powdered sugar (1/2 cup)
*cinnamon or nutmeg (1 tsp)
* salt (1 tsp)
1) Heat vegetable/canola oil in a frying pan.
2) Place the biscuits on a cookie sheet. With a small circular cookie cutter (or shot glass),pierce the biscuits in the center, pull out the center pieces and set aside.
*You can make doughnut holes with them later*
3)When oil is ready, place about 4 at a time in the pan. Fry each side until golden brown (which will take less than a minute so keep your eye on them!)
4) When they are done, place on cooling rack or napkin lined cookie sheet to absorb oil.
5) Mix together sugar, powdered sugar,cinnamon/nutmeg and salt. Powder both sides of your doughnuts and place on your favorite serving plate. Enjoy!
