Back when my Boys were still at home we used to make Donuts out of Canned Biscuits but I had long since forgotten how good they were until this morning when I whooped up a small batch. They were indeed good as I remembered but the Pics weren't good at all. Mainly because I had the Oil too hot but they still tasted good.
Here is the Recipe for these Sweet Quickies, in case any one is interested.

Re: Flashback Donuts
I'm sure y'all will like them, just watch the heat on the oil or you'll be glazing black donuts

Did same deep fryin a clucker a while back. Went to extra trouble to double batter everything, fired up the pot outdoors to keep from greasing up my wife’s kitchen, and was all ready. to have golden fried chicken. Forgot that oil accumulates heat; little did I know it turned out the temperature was over 500 degrees and I was lucky I didn’t burn down the farm. So I dropped the chicken in and everything’s going good for a grand total of about 15 seconds, and then the batter instantly turns black right it front of my eyes. That’s when I pulled out my dipstick and checked the temperature and sure enough the peanut oil was well over 500. So I shut off the heat, thanked the Big Man for not letting it spontaneously combust because I was tickling flashpoint temperature, and let it coast; figuring the chicken inside might still cook and be edible.
Within approximately 5 minutes that chicken was done through and dipsticked at 160°. Fastest chicken in the West.
Once the oil cooled down to 350 I threw the rest of the chicken in and it came out nice and beautifully golden.
Funny thing is, once I cracked the cover with a chisel, the coal mine chicken came out perfect inside, succulent and beautiful, The golden chicken was just pretty good.
Sometimes we learn because we are smart, other times we learn because we are stupid, but it’s always best to learn while we are lucky.
BE WELL, BUT NOT DONE

When I was a kid my uncle would make those fried biscuit donuts and sprinkle powdered sugar on them; fond memories
