I work with a woman who makes these with her preschool class at least twice a year. I am, in no way shape or form, a virgin to eating these. However, I'd never actually made my own. Last night, I decided to make some for my husband.
Overall Comments: Make sure to avoid the flaky layer biscuits, apparently this makes a huge difference. Other than that, the only other issue I had was my aforementioned fear of frying things. This of course, resulted in slightly under-cooked doughnuts as I found myself rushing them so that I could be done with this part of the process.
When you disregard the slightly raw center, these are delicious. However, for just my husband and I (while I gave Little Man a bite, he didn't have more than that) one can of biscuits = too many doughnuts for us. This is def. something that would figure up to (in my opinion) a can of dough per family of four. That being said, we tried them this morning and they were still very delicious aside from the slightly greasy aftertaste.
Cost (approximately): $1.25 for the biscuits. Butter, sugar, cinnamon and oil are pretty standard kitchen supplies.
Would I make it again? Oh heck yeah. I think we've decided that these are going to be our new traditional holiday morning fare (Christmas, birthdays, etc).
What does the Mr think? "Seriously? These are made from biscuits? Yum!"
