Easy Cinna-Sugar Donuts

Ok - I love cooking but sugary-baking type dishes are outside of my comfort zone.  But, this recipe is easy and fun and came out perfectly the first try!  I was inspired by LittleBitFunky's Blog Post for Naughty Donuts, but put a few little different twists in there.

What you will need:

•   Grand's Homestyle Buttermilk Biscuits
•   A Stick of Butter (you could use 2/3 of a stick, but I used a whole    stick)
•   1 Cup Sugar
•   2 Tbsp Cinnamon (or to taste - cinnamon sugar mixture should be light brown)
• Approx 2 Cups Vegetable oil or enough to fill your cooking pan about a 1/2" full.

Let's Get Cooking!

• Melt butter and place in a bowl large enough for dipping donuts
• Mix Sugar & Cinnamon together in a similar shallow bowl
• Heat up vegetable oil in your pan on medium heat until you can sprinkle water in it and it sizzles and pops.
• While oil is heating, shape your donuts!  You can lay the dough flat and cut holes with a cookie cutter, or just shape them with your hands (that's what I did!) and use up and extra by making them into little donut holes (or munchkins like we call them here in New England.)
• Place donuts in the vegetable oil using tongs - be careful not to put your face anywhere near the pan!  When they brown after a minute flip them over.  
• When both sides are golden brown, put aside to cool.
• Once donuts are cool enough to handle, dip them in the butter, and then cover each side with the cinnamon and sugar mixture.
• You are done!!  Eat one right away while it is still warm - they are amazing.  Save one for later, and GIVE THE REST AWAY!!!!

Enjoy!
