Dollars to Doughnuts


We've been making "cheater doughnuts" about once a week lately...because sometimes you just need a doughnut, but don't have the time or dough (get it) to make a Krispe Kremes run. I'm not saying these compare in quality - they just tide you over.

We start with some generic breakfast biscuits. I can get a 4-pack of these at the grocery store for $1.50


Throw them in some cooking oil. (I keep it on medium-low; otherwise the outside gets overdone before they cook through.)


Then we roll them in cinnamon and sugar or shake them in a brown bag with some powdered sugar. Yum. My kids think I'm a genius.

  1. I wish I could go to the comissary with you! What a great deal. And those look super yummy! Do you ever poke holes in the middle and make donut holes, too?

  3. Yum! I'm so glad you blogged about these. I've been thinking about them ever since you posted about them yesterday on FB.

  4. When I was a kid one of the neighbor moms used to make these, but she would actually stick her finger in the middle and fashion it into a doughnut type ring.
