1 teaspoon ground cinnamon (optional)

Vegetable oil (about 2–3 cups, for frying)

Optional: melted butter for brushing

Instructions

Open the biscuit can and separate the dough rounds.

Fry 2–3 donuts at a time until golden brown, about 1–2 minutes per side.
Remove with a slotted spoon and drain on paper towels.
Roll warm donuts in granulated sugar (with cinnamon if using).
For extra richness, brush with melted butter before coating with sugar.
Serve immediately while warm and crisp.
