Step 2:

  • Separate dough into 8 biscuits; using small round cookie cutter, cut 3 holes out of each biscuit.

Step 3:

  • Gently place 3 or 4 doughnut holes in hot oil. Fry on one side until golden brown. Gently turn with tongs; fry other side until golden brown. Place on cooling rack; cool 2 to 3 minutes.

Step 4:

Expert Tips:

  • If you’d rather make doughnuts, just cut a center hole in each biscuit. Then fry both the doughnuts and the holes.
  • Add color to the bar with jewel-toned disposable cocktail forks, available at your local party supply store.

    I have been doing the biscuit donuts for a couple years as a special treat when we go camping, that is the only time I make them. I use a dutch oven over the fire and they turn out great. They may be the best donuts I ever had. I just use the regulat homestyle biscuits, then powder sugar sprinkled over them while still hot. Its a fun tradition that my kids (and husband) really look forward to.
