I love those little sugary donuts that you get at Chinese restaurants! They melt in your mouth with their warm, sweet, taste! So, is it donut or doughnuts??

This seems to be a pretty split decision….half the people I ask say donut while the other half say doughnut. I guess it’s like the whole potato potato thing….except you can’t really hear the inflection in written form.

Well, the hubs and I are trying to eat out less and one of my new year’s resolutions was to try at least 2 new recipes a week- so of course, I had to make these! And let me just say…they taste exactly like the delicious little donuts from the Chinese restaurant!!!

Ingredients

Canned Biscuits
Oil for Frying
Granulated Sugar

Instructions

Get a cheap can of biscuits.

Pinch the biscuits in half

Heat about 2 cups of vegetable oil in a pan(enough to come half way up the biscuits). It’s ready when you put a drop of water in the oil and it sizzle

Carefully drop your biscuit pieces in the oil and cook till golden brown (about 2 minutes on each side)

Remove from oil and place on paper towel to drain extra oil

Coat with regular granulated sugar.

Notes

Change it up by mixing cinnamon into your sugar before coating donuts. Some restaurants use sesame seeds instead of sugar for a more traditional, savory flavor.
