Cinnamon Sugar Fritters

Total Time: 10 mins Preparation Time: 5 mins Cook Time: 5 mins

Ingredients

• Servings: 8
• 1 (16 1/3 ounce) can biscuits (i like pillsbury grand flaky layers)
• 4 -6 cups oil
• 1/2 cup cinnamon sugar

Recipe

• 1 heat oil in a 2 quart (or medium) saucepan over medium heat for about 10 minutes.
• 2 test the oil by sprinkling a few water droplets into the pan.
• 3 if the oil bubbles a little, it's ready.
• 4 if it boils a lot and starts splattering, take it off the heat for 2-3 minutes, lower the heat a notch or two, and then put it back on for frying.
• 5 prepare a stack of paper towels. this is for absorbing some excess oil from the fried biscuits. i usually set my stack of towels on a wire cooling rack.
• 6 cut a small hole in the middle of the biscuits like a donut (this keeps the center from being doughy-- it's not just for looks :).
• 7 place the biscuits, one at a time, into the hot oil. let it fry for 1-2 minutes on each side until golden brown.
• 8 let it sit on the paper towels for a minute to absorb some of the excess oil before dipping it into the cinnamon sugar and serving warm!
