Makes 11 dozen, 1 inch balls. Balls can be reheated on a cookie sheet at 375 degrees for 10 minutes, or microwaved for 30 seconds. Serve with a BBQ sauce for dipping, if desired.

Holes Of a Donut

•a tube of buttermilk biscuits
•oil for frying
•sugar

Pop the tube of biscuits. Cut 1 biscuit in 4 quarters. Roll each quarter to form a ball.
Fry the donut holes in oil until golden brown. About 6-8 minutes or so. You’ll probably have to do this in batches. Drain the excess oil.
Divide the donut holes in half. Add some in the sugar and cinnamon mixture, cover the container, then shake shake shake. Do the same thing with the other half using the sugar mixture.
You can use powdered sugar too if you want. I ran out because I made cupcakes for my son’s school days prior. But yes, that’s an option too.
