The boys love my short cut donuts. I started making these a couple of years ago, when my mom reminded me of a recipe her mom used to make. While my Grandma Wechter would make homemade donuts, she also made this quick version. I also used this opportunity to use a spice I had inadvertently bought, apple pie spice. I had meant to buy cumin one day, and when I got home to make tacos I quickly discovered apple pie spice :o( I don't make a ton of apple pies, so now I have to find ways to use it up, well here's a dandy.
This is how I did it:
1 package of large biscuits (refrigerated ones in the can)
vegetable oil
apple pie spice
sugar
In a pot add oil to reach about 3 inches up the side and turn on over medium heat (about 375 degrees)
Using a round cutter cut out a whole in each biscuit and slowly drop into oil. Cook for two minutes on each side and lay on paper towels to drain.
Mix 1/2 cup of sugar to 1 tsp apple pie spice in a dish and toss donuts to coat. Lay on a cooling rack to cool, store in an airtight container for a couple of days. Other variations, dust with powder sugar, frost with chocolate or vanilla glaze & top with sprinkles.
