I was still in high school when I first learned you could make donuts this way. That would make me about the same age as most of your grandmothers. We never cut a hole for the donut, just made a hole with our fingers, worked great and no little pieces to get burnt.

I have been making these donuts for at least 25 years. With 7 kids I learned to make all kinds of things with biscuits. My kids loved these. Me too.

We called then Scout Donuts, used store brand biscuits, powdered sugar, could not keep up with demand (my troop of about 20 could put away a few dozen and ask for more. Thanks for the memories.

My Nana would melt a T of butter and mix with a half cup of confectioner's sugar, stirring in a tsp of water at a time until a perfect glaze formed for the doughnuts. Thank you for posting this! Brings back memories.

These are my husband's favorites!! His Grandmother used to make these in LA. He MUST have them with cane syrup (impossible to find in the southwest) and chicory coffee.

I'm one of those grandmas now, but when my children were growing up my mother taught me how to make these and even now have been told by my grown nephews and nieces one of their fondest memories when they stayed overnight at my house we sometimes had these for breakfast. Thanks for the memory!!

I had almost forgotten this recipe. My mom used to make these for our family when I was very young. (Yes they had canned biscuits way back in the stone age.) (Before that she made them with Bisquick mix.) They are quick and easy and TASTY!!! Thanks to Tiffany for reminding me of this great memory.

I volunteer teaching an after schol cooking class at a local public charter school. This looks like a very easy and inexpensive recipe. I'm sure they will enjoy it as snack. Not for breakfast though.
