Hi again! It’s almost spring, HURRAY!
I was watching some children playing and it took me back to the days when my kids were little. One of their favorite things to do was have “sleep-overs”. They would have a great time playing, maybe watching a movie, eating popcorn, running around. It wasn’t exactly peaceful, but it was fun.
In the morning my boys always wanted O.J. and doughnuts for their friends and them. Here goes how I got about 30 doughnuts for about 2 bucks!! And they’re delicious!
I would buy 3 cans of store brand biscuits for 49 cents a can. I would separate them and then to make the holes I would use a pill bottle to make a perfect circle in the middle.
Next, I would take some oil (Crisco or whatever) in the bottom of a skillet then fry the holes - then the doughnuts. When the holes were done I would dip them in a cinnamon sugar mix. You can do that with the doughnuts, too. I would also frost some of them with a powdered sugar and milk frosting. I let the doughnuts cool a bit, otherwise the frosting would get runny. You can save the oil for a 2nd use (refrigerate) because these fry clean. If you want to be fancy, you can use the Pillsbury Grand biscuits, but they are a bit more expensive.
Here’s the breakdown:
| 3 Cans of Roundy’s or store brand biscuits at $0.49ea | $1.47 |
| Figure the other ingredients at $1.23 | $1.23 |

| Total | $2.70 |
