I'm not going to lie to you dear friends. These doughnuts are NOT as good as the fried version Charlie makes for the kids every once in a while. However, I do like this recipe because even with the amount of sugar and butter used, this not so deep fried version is still a tad healthier than the original. While I'm being honest here, let's face it, top anything with chocolate frosting and sprinkles, and kids are going to love it and it's going to taste pretty darn good.
Ingredients
7.5 ounce can of refrigerated Pillsbury Country Style or Buttermilk biscuit dough
1/4 cup melted butter or margarine
1/4 cup sugar
Chocolate frosting and sprinkles are optional, but fun!
Directions
- Preheat oven to 375 degrees
- Separate dough into 10 biscuits and flatten to a 2 1/2 inch rounds.
- With a 1 inch round biscuit cutter cut a hole in the center -- I used a cap from a bottle, works just as well.
- Dip Biscuits and centers into butter then into sugar.
- Place on an ungreased cookie sheet.
- Bake 12 to 14 minutes or until golden brown.
- Let cool then frost and top with sprinkles if desired.
Servings
10 small doughnuts and 10 doughnut holes
A Broken Oven Tip
Get creative with the toppings! Use chopped nuts, make a glaze or top with jelly -- it's ALL good!
