My sister in law showed me how to make these donuts when we were all staying at the cabin for the weekend. I’ve also made them when we go camping. Use paper bags to coat them in cinnamon sugar or powdered sugar and clean up is easy!

These are great, I use to make these for my kids when they were younger, they loved them. I remember being on vacation in Hilton Head and that is all they wanted me to make for breakfast all week. Brings back memories!
Love how food can bring back good memories!
I make these all the time and they are a big hit. I also use the whole biscuit and roll it out and then put some ricotta cheese on one side and then fold over and seal with your fingers. Then deep fry them and drain and then put powder sugar on top of them. I love them hot while my husband loves them cold.
Great idea Connie, thanks for sharing!
Love these! Made them for my children when they were kids at home and for my grandchildren as well Still make them for my husband and myself . We like them with an icing made of cream cheese, butter , and powered sugar . Mmmm! Not for one who is watching calories for sure, but at the top of the list with a good cup of coffee on a cold night. Or…….any kind of night! Easy, quick, and taste pleasing for sure!
Love the idea of a cream cheese icing! Thanks Shirley!
