Easy Scout Donuts!

Joe showed me this recipe last night...all I have to say is, thank god for boyscouts. This is one of many delicious treats Joe learned to make while on the trail with the scouts...if you have young sons, you should coerce them into joining the scouts just so they learn how to cook. If it is easy enough to make while camping...you can probably pull it off at home with a minimum of effort.


Easy Scout Donuts:
1 can of refrigerated buttermilk biscuit dough
Enough oil to fill a small saucepan
Powdered sugar

1. Shape the donut. Crack open the tube of dough, remove one biscuit, and poke a hole in the middle. Squish the dough into a shape befitting a proper donut.

2. Fry the donut. After heating the pot of oil on the stove, drop in the dough. Make sure that it doesn't stick to the sides or bottom of the pot. After a minute, flip over the donut with tongs. The donut should be a nice golden brown on both sides before you take it out of the oil...generally about 2 minutes or so. It's a pretty quick process.

3. Season the donut. Put powdered sugar in a bowl with a lid, add the hot donut, and shake to coat. You could also create a glaze by boiling sugar water until it's thick...or you could coat with regular sugar...cinnamon sugar...maple syrup...just think of the possibilities!
