2 cans (tubes) of biscuits

Can of creamy white vegetable shortening such as Crisco
Cinnamon (optional)

In a skillet of 2 inches of melted hot vegetable shortening, place all the
biscuits
you can with 1 inch hole poked through them. Turn a few times and
place in the paper bag with 1/2 cup of sugar. Close and shake.

Place them immediately on a plate and serve. Let the kids put on the
cinnamon.

Oh my gosh, does this bring back memories! /phpbb/images/smiles/icon_lol.gif As a youngster, my friends and I used to make donuts like this all of the time! I taught my kids how to make these when they were teens. In fact, my best buddy, DonnaS and I were talking about making donuts this way just the other night.Thanks for the trip down memory lane! /phpbb/images/smiles/icon_smile.gif I wonder what they would taste like if we used the Grand Biscuits? Didn't have those then. I'll have to try that with the granddaughters. /phpbb/images/smiles/icon_biggrin.gif

I see we are giving away our age here. Seeing this recipe brought back memories. I talked with my mom and was telling her I seen the recipe so now I have to send it to her. Of course she had a story to tell about making them when we were kids.

Yes, we sure are giving away our ages! /phpbb/images/smiles/icon_lol.gif I can remember making these with friends on Saturday nights while we listened to the Beatles! /phpbb/images/smiles/icon_biggrin.gif Have mercy! How time flies! /phpbb/images/smiles/icon_eek.gif

STOP!!! already I"m that old too you know!! We used to do the same thing. My sister is making them with her girls this weekend. Her girls are 10 & 11, pretty close to the age we made them at.

My mom made these for us when we were kids and I made them for my kiddos when they were young. We would add cinnamon to the sugar for some and some with plain sugar. These are a great cheap treat.

I have always loved these..... I think dd & I will make some this week..... Thanks !!!!!!!!
