Easy Fried Doughnuts

Ingredients:

1 can country style or Texas style biscuits
1/2 inch of canola or vegetable oil in a large skillet
1/2 cup sugar
1 teaspoon cinnamon

Pour about 1/2 inch of canola oil in a large, high-sided skillet.  Heat oil to about 350 degrees.

Open biscuits, and use fingers to slightly flatten and spread the biscuits into a bigger circle.  Using a bottle cap, cut a hole out of the center of each biscuit, and set hole aside.

Once oil reaches 350 degrees, put one doughnut hole into the hot oil.  If it immediately begins to sizzle, the oil is hot enough.  Fry, a few at a time until golden brown.  This will take 30-60 seconds per side.

Remove from oil and place on a plate lined with paper towels.  Allow to cool just enough for you to handle them.

Meanwhile, combine sugar and cinnamon in a large bowl.  Dip warm doughnuts in sugar and cinnamon, and enjoy!
