Chinese Buffet Style Donuts

Like so many others I loved these as a kid but nowadays I try to cut out the fat added by frying. Instead, roll the biscuits in sugar (with or without cinnamon), place in a lightly oiled pan, and bake them as directed on the biscuit tube. Yummy, yummy, yummy!!

OH MY GOD! These were so good. These doughnuts are my favorite part of a chinese buffet, I often get a few each time I go up to the buffet. Now I can have them in the comfort of my own home and they take about 10 minutes. It doesn't get any better.

Just made these for work. I used our buttermilk biscuit mix which we almost NEVER use except for VERY special occasions. I added some cinnamon and vanilla extract to give it a less "Just fried dough" taste. I also followed the frosting recipe listed on several other food.com donut recipes (essentially one part milk to eight parts sugar... I added nutmeg, vanilla extract, and honey to this as well). Everyone thought I was a nut until they tried them.

These are so delicious! It's hard to believe that something as simple as this could taste so good.I've been making these since I was a kid and we always make a warm glaze to dip them in out of powdered sugar, milk,a little butter and vanilla.They just melt in your mouth! Almost as good as a funnel cake!

OH MY GOD !!!! These are to die for! And so easy. They remind of the fried dough you get at a fair.

Love these. We used a coke bottle when we were kids to make the hole. Sometimes we would make all holes and roll in regular sugar and cinnamon.

My mom made these for us 50 years ago and we just loved them. They are still my favorite doughnuts!

these were FANTASTIC! we used the basic buttermilk biscuits, you know the ones where you can get 2 tubes for $1. I heated about 3/4 of an inch of oil in my smallest pot and then fried them up 2 at a time. a winner for sure and such a dangerous recipes seeing how easy and cheap it is!

This is one of my husband's favorite treats. We use cheap buttermilk biscuits and cut them in half to shorten cook time. (I think that they are better when just golden...I don't like the outside to be too hard.) I also use peanut oil for most deep frying. It does not impart a greasy taste on the foods. I know that you can glaze these, or use cinnamon and sugar...I love them just like this.

I cut each biscuit into quarters before frying them, to make 40 donut holes.

Usually I make a powdered sugar and milk glaze for these little babies instead of the sugar. My brother and I would make these on Saturday mornings growing up after we were allowed to use the fryer. He has passed the tradition down to his 4 kids.

Excellent and easy too. Not at all greasy like I thought they would be. I added cinnamon to the sugar but am sure they would be good without it. THNX

Wow hit the spot. I made it exactly as written and it took away any Chinese donut cravings, all for 50 cents, made 10 mini donuts. Tastes just like the restaurant.

My dad would make these for us when we were growing up. Yum! He used cinnamon and sugar to coat the donuts, and also used canned frosting to frost some as well. You can't go wrong with this recipe!

They aren't Krispy Kreme, but they were pretty good! I made eight or ten, and each one that came out of the oil was progressively better. You have to be careful that the oil isn't too hot or the outside gets too brown before the middle is cooked. I used Pillsbury Homestyle biscuits, I wonder if a different kind would have been lighter and tastier. A fun weekend morning treat if you have biscuits and some shortening to use up.

These are fantastic and so simple. I made these when I was little and my brother still asks for them when he visits. I use a melon baller to cut the "holes" out and fry them, too!
