Aunt Evelyn's Easiest Donuts

Submitted by Little Woman

"Every time I take my children to my aunt's home she makes us these donuts and serves them with bacon. Perhaps it's the love she puts in them, but they're 100 times better then Krispy Kreme."

My wife makes these and everyone loves them. She claims they're healthy when they're fried in coconut oil from Tropical Traditions.

I was excited to find this recipe since it looked so easy and knowing I knew of a can of biscuits that was milk, egg, and peanut free to make donuts for my very allergic 4 year old son to actually be able to taste donuts for the first time. However, I was disappointed by the lack of taste these donuts had. They tasted like fried bread. with a little sweetness on the outside from the powdered sugar. I also did some with a cinnamon-sugar mixture which is also a nice flavor. Oh, and the "shake in a bag to coat" idea does NOT work because the very hot oil on the donuts melt the bag instantly.
