Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 can (8 biscuits) Canned biscuit dough
- 0.5 cup Granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
- 2 cups Vegetable oil
Instructions
Heat the vegetable oil in a deep skillet or Dutch oven over a campfire or portable stove until it reaches 350°F (175°C). Use a deep-fry thermometer to monitor the temperature if possible.
While the oil heats, prepare the doughnuts by popping open the can of biscuit dough and separating the biscuits. Use your fingers or a small bottle cap to poke and stretch a hole in the center of each biscuit to form a doughnut shape.
In a small bowl, mix together the granulated sugar and ground cinnamon. Set aside.
Carefully place 2-3 doughnuts at a time into the hot oil, making sure not to overcrowd the skillet. Fry for 1-2 minutes on each side, or until golden brown.
Using a slotted spoon or tongs, remove the doughnuts from the oil and place them on a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil.
While the doughnuts are still warm, toss them in the cinnamon-sugar mixture until fully coated.
Repeat with the remaining doughnuts and any doughnut holes made from the centers, if desired.
Serve the camp doughnuts warm and enjoy!
