these were FANTASTIC! we used the basic buttermilk biscuits, you know the ones where you can get 2 tubes for $1. I heated about 3/4 of an inch of oil in my smallest pot and then fried them up 2 at a time. a winner for sure and such a dangerous recipes seeing how easy and cheap it is!

    Excellent! This is the first time I actually have made doughnuts. I had a bar of Hershey's milk chocolate ( left over from Halloween). I broke off one small square, flatened out the biscuit dough, then fold the dough over the square of chocolate and pinched the ends. 2 minutes is all you need in terms of cooking time. Rolling it in the sugar after the doughnut is blotted is a MUST. I had a bad day, but making these tonight made me feel good!

    My 7 year old son loves to help me make this recipe (I do the deep frying. He punches the holes in the biscuits). We've tried several variations and have settled on lightly coating the biscuit dough in sugar before frying then rolling them in sugar again afterwards. Fun and tasty. Thanks for sharing.
