Ingredients

• 1 cup Powdered sugar
• 2 tablespoons Milk
• 1 tube (8 biscuits) Canned biscuits
• 0.5 cup Sugar
• 1 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
• 0.5 cup, melted Butter

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

Step 2

Open the tube of canned biscuits and separate them onto a clean surface. Using your fingers or a bottle cap, cut a small hole in the center of each biscuit to create a doughnut shape.

Step 3

Arrange the doughnuts and the cut-out holes on the parchment-lined baking sheet, leaving some space between them.

Step 4

Bake the doughnuts in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until they're puffed and golden brown.

Step 5

While the doughnuts bake, prepare the topping options. For the cinnamon-sugar coating, combine the sugar and ground cinnamon in a shallow bowl. Place the melted butter in another shallow bowl for dipping.

Step 6

For the glaze, mix the powdered sugar and milk in a small bowl until it forms a smooth, pourable consistency.

Step 7

When the doughnuts are done baking, let them cool slightly, just enough to handle. Dip each doughnut into the melted butter, then coat with the cinnamon-sugar mixture. Alternatively, dip or drizzle the glaze over the doughnuts as desired.

Step 8

Serve the doughnuts warm and enjoy!
