Wow, not at all what I thought they'd taste like. There's just a slight biscuit taste after cooked and coated. These are yummy and SO SIMPLE!! Made for the I Recommend Tag Game.

    My Mother use to make these for the family. Today I made them for her. They were just perfect. So easy to make and doesn't take very long at all. Thanks for posting this recipe.

    The kids (and hubby!) just love these, and they're so easy to make! We fry in oil and butter and sometimes vary the taste by sprinkling with powdered sugar and cinnamon, or dipping them in a glaze of powdered sugar, vanilla and water mixed together. This does bring back memories... of the kids when they were younger and would have sleep-overs. This was almost always the sleep-over breakfast.

    These are so good and easy! I tear the biscuit in half and make doughnut holes in my frydaddy instead of regular doughnuts. Also, I like a variety of toppings and use powdered sugar, cinnamon and sugar, and a glaze of powdered sugar and water! Yummy!
