I used to cut the biscuits into quarters , fry and drain them and put sugar and cinnamon in a brown lunch bag. Gave my children each a bag and had them shake the bag. They love it. " Poor Man's Donuts " , that's what we called. Whenever money was tight, those fried pieces of dough made tough times tolerable for my children and me. Even now my adult children still loves and yearns for them.
In college in the late 70s, my sorority raised money by making and selling biscuit donuts. This was before Grands were on the market so we would buy any frozen biscuits to use. We used a Fry Daddy then use powdered and regular sugar to coat them or spread chocolate icing on them. Trust me, we made money every time!
This is Lorraine from Corning New York love your video keep the videos coming your donuts from biscuits look delicious I'll have to try it sometime I like how you explain step by step what you're doing that is well appreciated thank you for taking time out of your day to do the video thank you very much I love your voice it is nice and soft to listen to
@@quenquen200726oh at this Chinese, I went two years ago gosh I loved those Do you know how they do those I guess it's like this but they're shaped more like a square beignet?
Oh I learned to fry them up just this way in a Home Economics class and just roll them in dry powdered confectioner sugar afterward and sooo Yum and such Sweet memories too. ❤️
My Mom used to make us fry pies using biscuit dough. She heated chunky applesauce with some cinnamon and nutmeg. She would flatten each biscuit into a large circle. Fill the center with a tbsp of the apple filling and fold in half. Pinch sides together and fry. So yummy!
Omg when I was like 10-11 my dad on a weekend said it you all pickup the house and yard I will make you a surprise you will never forget ❤ he cut up a pop biscuit and fried them and omg I still make them and he’s right I never forgot ❤so damn good 😌
Me too! I've been making these since the 1970's when I learned it Home Ec class. But, I never thought of twisting them, even though I buy cinnamon twist donuts at the bakery. So glad I watched!
My mother-in-law did this all the time, so my husband grew up with these. So, of course, I made them as well. So delicious! It was fun watching you make them.
Oh this brings back so many memories! My mama used to make doughnut biscuits - which I very quickly learned to do for myself - because they were so good! She never got fancy with almond extract or lemon - she just did the basic glaze or usually, just the cinnamon/sugar mixture! But I love them to this day! I am going to try the jelly filled ones next, because I love raspberry-filled jelly donuts! And I will add the powdered sugar glaze!! Thanks so much for this video, as well as the tip for freezing any left-over dough! PS I never measure either LOL
Oh wow! I've done it! Mine weren't as awesome as yours tho. My kids loved them. I haven't made them in like 15-20 years but you just inspired me again! I have a little baby grand daughter now so she's going to love Mimi making them and using your ideas on the chocolate and jelly filled. Idea* What do you think about a bit of vanilla pudding on a couple of the twists to be a mock barvarian cream??
My family did this all the time..they are the best😊 It's crazy that your channel came across my feed because I wanted to do these with my grandkids so i went to store to get the biscuits and they don't sell the original Pillsbury biscuits we used as kids they were in a tall skinny tube and cost less than a buck lol. I was so disappointed BUT now I see I can use that type of biscuit im heading to the store.❤ they take me way back we called them fried dough. Thanks for your video 😊
You were talking about the jelly filled donuts. The cake decorating sets usually have a long tube shaped tip that comes with them. You can also use those to fill the donuts and donut holes. For the ones with cinnamon and sugar, you could also use the ready made Philadelphia Cheesecake filling to fill them. Just insert a wooden spoon handle first to make a cavity for the filling, then insert the decorating tip into the cavities so that you can fill them with the cheesecake filling. Then you can do the cinnamon sugar, chocolate icing or regular glaze. They will be as good as any donut shop. For fillings you are as limited as your imagination. Have fun and enjoy your tasty treats.
I use the cap from my milk jug as a donut hole maker in the biscuit. I'm not a big fan of jelly donuts so that won't interest me. I do like the cream filled like the Hostess Twinkie has in it. I just squirt canned Dream Whip into them and it's wonderful. I also just use straight powder sugar mixed with nothing else and put on donuts. I do the glaze ones also and add Orange juice to the powder sugar and make an Orange glaze. Do the same using Strawberry soda pop. If course you can just by cake icings in various flavors at the store. Hershey's makes a great milk chocolate canned icing on the shelf at the store. I use metal tongs to flip my donut concoctions with in the hot oil. That way you are certain to flip them. If you like nuts add crushed ones to your glaze and dip the donuts in them. I'm 72 and been making canned biscuit donuts since I was a child in the 1950s with my mother.
3:49 Great vid..I just want to help the non cooks in the audience with this oil situation..Use an oil that is not going to make your donuts taste bad like veg oil not olive oil or some other weird oil..Ok just thought that needed to be said 😁 7:20 If you wanna be fancy and have a sandwich bag and yes the chopsticks..Use the chopstick to poke a hole in the donut..Put the jam in the sandwich bag n cut off a tiny corner at the bottom of bag n squeeze the jam out with your hand like an icing bag into the donut 👍N nope haven't done this but totally would TY!
I love to take each biscuit and fold it over a piece of chocolate 🍫 then mold it into a ball. After frying put the balls in a paper bag and add powdered or regular sugar. SO GOOD 🤤
We used the top to a 2 liter bottle to cut our holes. Works like a charm! We also used to shake the donuts in a paper bag with the cinnamon sugar, you can do bigger batches! Thanks for the ideas! Can't wait to try them!
Mmmmm. Good i haven't made these in awhile. I used to put a hole in the middle of biscuits. And make jelly donuts. YUM YUM. Now i have grand children I'll try it with them. I want my tench cruller. Nice and light. Very Good. Bless you. ❤
My Foster Mom would do this in the 70's. She took the small biscuit tube and when opened she took a bottle cap to make the hole. Then deep fry them in oil and the donut holes. Didn't drain the oil but put them in a paper lunch bag and shake them with cinnamon and I. For chocolate frosting she took powdered sugar and chocolate syrup to make frosting.
Hey Camirra, blessings! I make them often for a quick dessert. I love to dip them in a peanut butter glaze, or honey lemon lime drizzle. I use Nutella as well. I enjoyed your energy and soul-filled childhood memory! I relate! Thanks for sharing and have a blessed day!☺💞
I wanted to be mad when you said cut the doughnut and put he jelly, but I realized I'm dumb for not already doing that! lol These are my go to when I want to give my kids a special weekend treat and I prefer (because I'm lazy) to just make glazed/maple bars. Same prep/cooking/glaze methods just add maple extract, and if you wanna get gamma phi gamma bougie throw some bacon on top. Thanks for this I'm doing twists and jelly filled this weekend and they won't know what hit 'em!
This reminds me of the old days...lol. My mom would make us donuts and the donut holes from biscuits. She used regular biscuit roll, nothing fancy. She used an old glass salt shaker bottle to punch out holes then as I got old enough she would let me do it. She fried them and quickly dumped them into a cinnamon sugar mix. I have made them for my boys when they were little and tried again not too long ago. I will try again with the flakey biscuits, so thank you so much!
Love the "tester donut"! 😀 Just subscribed to your channel -- I really want to make these donuts NOW but will wait for New Year's as I am on a diet right now, alas!
As a young kid my family didn't have much extra $ for treats so biscuit donuts were a big deal. I told my coworkers about them and they jokingly called them ghetto-nuts 😂. We filled them with jam too , just don't cut a hole.
My mother cut biscuits into squares then she would cut a small slit about 1 inch maybe inch and a half and pull one corner through the other side and these donuts roll over by themselves in the fryer
I learned to make biscuit donuts in girl scouts! We rolled them in cinnamon sugar, or powdered sugar. I've done them filled with jelly or dipped in a chocolate ganache. Really any way you make'm is great! They're a really easy fried donut hack that I've loved since I was a kid! (50+ yrs ago) My fave: Lemon zest sprinkled on vanilla glazed.
I've done this with my kids one time and they can't stop talking bout it, cuz I don't really do anything like this so it's a treat for them. New Subbie first time watching your channel
We used Hershey chocolate powder and made chocolate icing and regular plain glazed and a few powdered sugar ones. I helped my neighbors mom so I got to eat the holes first .
Oh man, I'd forgotten this. I used to make these out of the smaller biscuits, poking a hole in them with my finger. I am going to have to do these again.
Hi there! Your donuts look so delicious! My son has made them before. I am not a huge fan but I do like a chocolate donut every now and then. Thanks for the tip about freezing the extra biscuits. I almost always have extra biscuits left over. 😊
I had heard of this method of making donuts but never actually seen it...THANK YOU. I am a big donut fan from way back but never made them myself, just "assisted" other people. Darling, my mouth is watering watching you glaze those donuts, I can't wait to try this.

Made these for my kids years ago, they are now 60 yrs old! So much fun and you know what? Delicious! Thanks
They're probably spoiled by now. You might not want to still eat them.
@@kerikah😂
You can also use just lemon juice and powder sugar only😋
I use a shot glass to make donut holes. Works perfect.
Thanks for the idea.
I use the cap from the oil bottle.
@@TOPDadAlpha doughnut cutters have little hole cutters in the center. Pop right out.
Perfect!

That does sound yummy. I might have to try this 😊.
Say it louder for the folk in the back! "A little fried biscuit never hurt NOBODY!" YES! Agreed!
Those are for when you can't have any ferment in the house. A real doughnut gets yeast and fat.
I don't think that's quite true, but it's a risk I'm willing to take.

i used canola oil, but this can be reused since you are just frying doughnuts
