OC Camper's homemade donuts

[oldmoose]

When Paula and I did a cooking demo for Girls Scouts, we made donuts from the biscuits. We stretched them and made holes with our fingeres. Half went into a bag of powdered sugar and the other half into a bag of cinnamon sugar. Best when warm.

We make them too.  I just poke a hole and stretch them out.  I haven't used cinnamon sugar that sounds good.  In the past I just used powdered sugar.  Warm is best.  When they get cold they taste more like a biscuit.

I've never tried this...but it was recommended to me by a friend who makes these for her family!

 
 
DEEP CHOCOLATE GLAZE
 
1/3 cup granulated sugar
1/4 cup water
2 squares Baker's unsweetened chocolate, melted over hot water
1 tsp. butter
1 Tbsp. milk
 
In small saucepan, combine sugar and water. Bring to a boil; boil
1/2 minute, stirring constantly. Slowly stir into chocolate; then
stir in butter. Slowly beat in milk. Beat until of spreading
consistency.
 
Eip in hot donuts while glaze is still warm. It will thicken as it cools.

geeeze you guys, I am getting FAT just reading this thread---and since I am also simultaneously  drooling all over myself, I am not only fat looking but really slobby looking, too! :J   (How DO you Californians always stay so blonde and tan and  fit when you are always eating stuff like this? )

OK, here's another version of the Pull-Apart Bread.   We  called it Monkey Bread  and everyone loved it whether  we were camping or not!  (It's great for a brunch or special Sunday morning brekky when you want something quick and easy and  yummy.)

Just follow the general directions already given foir Pull-Apart Bread, but after dipping the biscuit pieces in butter, then dip them  in instant butterscotch pudding mix  with some chopped pecans and  a tablespoon or 2  of brown sugar mixed in.  Add cinnamon or other spice if deseired. Bake.  VIOLA--coffee cake! :-()  :-()  :-()

Thanks to Jacqui, I was a big hit yesterday when I made these at home for my kids.  Jacqui made them at the rally in Yucaipa.

1 container of 99 cent Ralph's (generic brand) refrigerator biscuits
vegetable oil
powdered sugar
cinnamon sugar

Cut hole in biscuits with a water bottle cap.  Heat up oil in in large fry pan and fry up the "donuts" and "donut holes".  Sprinkle or dip in the sugar...yum!

Do you need enough oil to "deep fry?"  If not how much oil is needed.

Sorry Rod, I missed the post.  I use about an 1-2 inches of vegetable oil in an aluminum dutch oven pot (5 qt).  Last time I used a 12in skillet and it worked fine too.
