Easy Donuts at home

I absolutely love donuts, but I can not find a good place to buy them. The grocery stores around here are the only option, and they are not always appealing. I am orginally from the East Coast of the United States, and love Duckin' Donuts, but here in Oregon they have Krispy Kreme, which I find just horrible. Thus, I decided to make my own donuts. Now, this is super easy and quick and my brother use to make them when we were little.So all you need is some kind of topping for your donuts like melted chocolate, cinnamon and sugar, or powder sugar. I used the last two. Also, a pan with oil (I used Canola oil) and a can of biscuits.So I opened my can of biscuits and cut the center out. I used a star shaped cookie cutter to make it fun for my daughters.Heat oil, at medium temp and then turn it down to medium low. You want the dough to cook all the way through and not burn. If you have the oil to high they will cook super fast and be brown on the outside, but raw on the inside, which of course is never good. Drop a few in at a time and let them cook a few minutes on each side. As they brown, turn them over. And keep flipping them, so they color evenly on both sides an cook through. When they are done, remove them from the oil and place them on paper towel to drain and cool. This is when you want to added your topping.Once cool, eat and enjoy.If you have leftovers, place them in a storage container and place in the refrigerator. When you're ready to eat them again, heat in the microwave for a few seconds. Goes great in the morning with coffee or tea.
