Make Doughnuts from a Roll of Biscuit Dough

1

Begin by gathering all the necessary materials. If you don't have a thimble, you can use the small end of a melon baller. Fill the skillet with about 1/4 inch of oil, or about two cups. Turn your burner on medium heat and let the oil heat up.
2

Open the roll of biscuit dough according to the package. Place about two cups of powdered sugar into the paper bag and sit aside. Remove the biscuit roll and separate them into individual biscuits. With the thimble (or melon baller) cut through the center of the biscuit leaving a hole and removing the center. Remove the dough from your cutter and set aside. Continue this until all biscuits have a hole in the center and you have one dough ball for each center.
3

Drop the biscuits one by one in the hot oil. They will float so make sure they do not stick together. As one side gets golden brown, turn them over so the other side will brown. When they are completely brown, remove them immediately from the oil and place them in the paper bag with the powdered sugar. Close the bag and shake it to coat all the doughnuts. With the tongs, remove the doughnuts and place them on the paper towels. Continue this procedure until all doughnuts are cooked along with the doughnut holes.

Serve with milk and enjoy.
