Steps:
- Separate biscuits and stretch slightly to enlarge them. Poke your finger through center of each one to form doughnut hole.
- Heat oil in small size skillet (you can also use a deep fryer) to about 350°F.
- There should be enough oil to float the doughnuts when cooking, so the amount of oil used will depend on the pan size.
- Place several doughnuts in the oil and fry until golden brown on first side then turn over to finish!
- Place cooked doughnuts on paper towel to drain slightly. In a bowl to which you have added a mixture of the sugar and cinnamon (you can vary this depending on your own taste), place one or two doughnuts at at a time and coat both sides.

Tips:
- Use the right ingredients: Make sure you have all the necessary ingredients and that they are fresh and of good quality. The right ingredients will make a big difference in the taste of your donuts.
- Follow the recipe carefully: Don't skip any steps or substitute ingredients unless you know what you're doing. Following the recipe carefully will help you avoid common mistakes and ensure that your donuts turn out perfectly.
- Don't overmix the batter: Overmixing the batter will make your donuts tough. Mix it just until the ingredients are combined.
- Let the dough rise properly: Allowing the dough to rise properly will help it develop flavor and texture. Be patient and let it rise until it has doubled in size.
- Fry the donuts at the right temperature: The ideal temperature for frying donuts is between 350°F and 375°F. If the oil is too hot, the donuts will brown too quickly and be raw in the middle. If the oil is too cool, the donuts will absorb too much oil and be greasy.
- Coat the donuts in sugar or glaze immediately after frying: This will help the sugar or glaze adhere to the donuts and give them a delicious coating.
Conclusion:
Making donuts at home is a fun and rewarding experience. With a little practice, you'll be able to make delicious donuts that your family and friends will love. So next time you're craving a sweet treat, try making your own donuts. You won't be disappointed!
