One night, my husband and I were bored with nothing to do. We were craving something sweet. I looked in the fridge, and found a tube of honey flavored biscuit dough. So I decided to deep-fry the biscuit dough. As they were cooking, they started to expand, and turn a light golden brown. I rolled them in cinnamon-sugar, and viola! These are homemade doughnut holes, and they are delicious!
It's actually really simple to do, and it doesn't require a lot of ingredients. This is a wonderful breakfast or snack that would be good if you want something sweet or just a pick-me-up.
Ingredients:
biscuit dough
1 tbs cinnamon
1/4 cup sugar
oil for frying
Directions:
1. Combine the cinnamon and sugar in a small bowl. Set aside.
2. Heat your deep fryer up to about 374 degrees. If you do not have a deep fryer, then just heat a pan of vegetable oil. Make sure it's pretty hot.
3. Slowly add the balls of dough. Please be careful because hot grease can splatter.
4. Fry the balls of dough until they are a golden brown. Depending on the roundness of them, you may have to flip them during cooking so they cook evenly.
5. Remove the fried dough carefully onto a plate covered with paper towels.
6. Roll the dough balls in the cinnamon-sugar mixture.
You now have a snack that is just as good as a bakery.
Since you are dealing with hot oil, I suggest buying a durable oven mitt and an oil skimmer as well. Here are a few valuable products that I would recommend.

An oil skimmer will help pick up your doughnuts, or at least turn them, and it also helps save the oil by reducing the debris in the oil, thus making it reusable. This helps save money and time.
These delicious doughnuts would compliment a cup of coffee or a glass of milk or orange juice. Enjoy!
