I must confess...this morning I
did not make a good, wholesome breakfast for my girls. Instead I saw the rain outside, the biscuits in the fridge and made some homemade cinnamon sugar donuts. They were so easy to make and the
girls I loved them. Unfortunately for me, I ended up eating most of the donuts. They girls kept saying 'these aren't like the other ones we get' a.k.a Dunkin Donuts. So while they ate cereal and fruit, I stuffed my face with a melt-in-you mouth donut covered in cinnamon and sugar. The only part of the breakfast they appreciated was the fact the donuts were shaped into hearts.

My Results:
Canned biscuits except for the flaky layer type
3 tbsp of melted butter (~3 tbsp per 8 biscuits)
1/4 cup sugar
2 tbsp of cinnamon (you can vary this amount to your liking)
Vegetable oil
1. Mixed together the sugar and cinnamon in a shallow bowl.
2. Fill your pan up to about 1/2 in with vegetable oil and heat up for a few minutes on medium heat.
3. While the oil is heating up, cut holes in the donuts with a cookie cutter or some other object. I decided to cut them with a cookie cutter into heart shapes and used the excess to make balls.
4. When the oil turns glassy, add the dough to the oil.
5. After the underside turns golden brown, flip with tongs or a large spoon.
6. The donuts are complete after the second side is also golden.
7. Remove from the oil and place on a paper towel lined pan or plate.
8. When the donuts have cooled enough to handle, dip
one side in the melted butter, let the excess drip off.
9. Dip in cinnamon
and sugar mixture coating both sides.
10. Enjoy this sinful breakfast treat.
