Tasty!!!! Delish!!!! honeykatkitty@yahoo.com
These are really scrumptious. The Pillsbury dough tastes the same as the crescent rolls or the pizza dough or the biscuits…but I love the taste! And the orange sugar combo can’t be beat. Very taste shortcut, Sunny.
These are so good I also do some in powdered sugar..or chocolate glaze
This was simple and delicious! I have to say I had my doubts about refrigerator biscuit donuts, but I don’t anymore. My family could not believe that these donuts were made from biscuit dough. Thanks Sunny! These will be a repeated treat in my house :
My Aunt who past away used to always make donuts for us. I was very happy to find an easy recipe and delicious like this one. The whole family loves it. My Grandma suggested powdered sugar to have two choices of donuts. They were delicious also! Thank you!
It was quick, easy and delicious! thank you Sonny!!
This recipe is delish… It is fast & Easy, I’m very grateful sunny. I’ll prepare it for my future Husband & Kids and they might think I’m a Pro.
Thanks Sunny…
These tasted great and I love that it didn’t require a ton of ingredients. However, I did have trouble frying them as some of them didn’t cook all the way through but I think that was because I didn’t have a candy thermometer to make sure that the oil was at the correct temperature. But the ones that cooked properly tasted delicious! I used a ziplock back instead of a paper bag to coat them because a paper bag just didn’t seem sturdy enough to not leak sugar all over the place. Next time I will probably only make half of the sugar mixture since I had a ton leftover.
Soooo easy to make,
Absolutely the best! Especially like that they are not too sweet, just right!
