Ingredients 

  • 2 cans biscuits
  • Granulated sugar
  • Vegetable oil

Instructions

  • Line up the biscuits assembly line style.
  • Use a cap from a 20 oz. soda (or something similar) to make a hole in the center of the biscuits.
  • Heat 3 inches of oil on medium/high.
  • Place donuts and donut holes in the oil for about a minute on each side, until golden brown.
  • Remove from oil and place on a paper towel to soak up the excess oil.
  • Give each child a small bag with some sugar in it, add the warm donuts to the bags and let them shake, shake, shake until the donuts are coated!

2 cans of biscuits will make about 16 donuts and holes. The total cost is less than $1.50!

We usually do this activity before a movie night. Warm donuts and a family movie, now that is a great evening!
