Food Hacks
In the early eighties, I met and married my high school sweetheart. His mom was the first and only person I knew who made homemade donuts from canned biscuits, topping hers with a Jiffy mix chocolate icing. She told me that she learned to make them from the cook at a local diner she worked at as a teenager. My mom was a wonderful cook too, but she had never heard of anyone doing the donuts that way either. Needless to say, in the months leading up to our wedding my mom in law helped me gain about 10 pounds. She made the chocolate iced donuts, a to die for peanut butter fudge that I have never tasted the likes of before or since, and popped popcorn on her stovetop that tasted better than movie theater popcorn. My parents, in laws, and husband are no longer with me, but this video brought back memories. I'm going to have to make these donuts for my granddaughter. Thank you for the video how to.
Aww. I’m so sorry that you’ve watched so many of your loved ones pass on. That’s beautiful but sad. You were there for them and I’m sure they were grateful for your love. I’m happy that this video brought back happy memories for you! I just turned 50 and lost my dad 15 years ago extremely unexpectedly due to a virus in his heart. I hope that I can start to make these recipes to make myself happy since I don’t have happy memories from my life.
Have a great day. Be safe and smile. 😊
@@NYandAZ Thank you, I wish and pray for you to have happiness as well. :)
Thank God for memories,I know, I have them..more often now that I am 75+yrs of age.all let bed one's gone,but never forgotten...never made donuts,but I will try these,look so yummy.
Thank you for sharing, I really felt your comment.
Thx 4 sharing your story. Sorry for your loss 🙏✌️❤️🥰
Great tip on how to make donuts! I should have never clicked here because now I'm gonna want to fix them too much! My husband works for General Mills who makes these biscuits. He brings free cans home when they give them out. We have several cans right now! Lolol
WOW! I'm am 60 and I have 2 younger sisters. My father made the best donuts ever. And they were made from the cheapest biscuits. We made regular donuts. And we made donut holes. It is one of the best memories of my life from my father. Hugs from Texas 😎
Sometimes it's about the drizzle.
Hi from Midland!!! 😊
Yes. Good memories. My mother & I made these back in the 1970s & my father would take 6 of them to work in his lunch bucket. I'm almost 64 now. A 4-pack case of biscuits with 10 biscuits in each case just cost about 79 cents...40 biscuits for just that much which made 40 donuts plus 40 donut holes!
@@curtischildress9580 what heat temperature would you say was equivalent to 350 degrees on an electric stove? Thank you!
Yes!!!! The cheap biscuits make the best! We just poked a hole with our hands and made a doughnut fried it in oil sprinkled with cinnamon sugar. It was a big treat!
My dad made these for us on weekends. He just made a plate of regular sugar and cinnamon. Out of the oil, they were rolled in the sugar and served warm. Oh my! Great memories :)
My Mom used to do this when we were growing up, but of course she used the smaller biscuits that were like 10 for a $1.00 a roll back then. I still remember her drawing them on a brown paper bag, doubt we had paper towels back then, even if they existed we couldn't afford them. They were so good, brought back lots of memories. She made glazed and sugar and cinnamon and we helped her.
I grew up eating these too! I should make them for my kids.
omg me too lol. I started doing it this way when I grew up because I can't stand those little biscuits lol 😂
Lol walmart be having a can that's red for like 77cent lol I love the blue can but when I c the 77cent I'm not too good for it still😅
Lol same here 😄
Then you didn't have a good mother. Gross.
In the early 80. I was a new Mom. My hubby got a" Fry Daddy" used to make these but not the glaze like you do. Yum. We woud just dip them hot into sugar, or cinnomon/sugar. I will make the glaze when the grands come. Looks so good. Thank you for reminding us about this blast from the past.
Great hack! I remember one from my childhood as well. Take Jiffy cake mix and add a little more flour to achieve a dough consistency. Roll into balls or use a small ice cream scooper. Fry, then roll in either powdered sugar or cinnamon/sugar mixture. Next, turn on the t.v. for some Saturday morning cartoons. Oh, and some Nestle Quick chocolate milk too. Enjoy.
Childhood is calling...😊
How creative!❤
"Make sure the inside cooks before the outside burns." Very important tip. Thank you for posting this and the glaze.
How do you suggest low heat on oil
@@ronwright2198 oil mixture.
@@HANKHILLFORTXGOVERNORWhat is the mixture?
My grandma used to make them. awesome
She called them womp donuts, because you had to womp the can on the edge of the counter to open it up.
Love it!
😆😆😆😂😂😂
Cute❤
Yes!!! My mother-in-law made these for her kids - they all called them "wompum" biscuits!
I used to make these years ago. The family would spend hours out playing in the snow.
Everyone loved these, mostly the kids.
So good 👍
Ive made these stuffed with raspberry jam and powdered outside. They’re fantastic!
I've never made donuts of any kind. How do you get the jelly inside?
@@TheLadyfiyre i figure a syringe would work nicely
They sound yummy
My grandma made these for the grandkids when we stayed over on the weekends. She made like three different icing toppings for them. Chocolate (she kept a canister of cocoa in her cabinet), cinnamon and brown sugar and a vanilla one. She’d put sprinkles on some of the vanilla ones. Sometimes she’d use store biscuit dough and most of the time she made them from scratch. Only time we had store bought donuts or cakes was birthdays. Granny could do it all! Since there were so many grandkids she’d mostly make donut holes to stretch the dough. 😊
So simple but you turn biscuits into the best looking donuts I’ve ever seen!!
ua-cam.com/video/2lQjguIyY2I/v-deo.html
it still tastes like biscuits
I'm 75 & remember Momma doing hers from scratch...soooo good!
My Mom cooked these in the 60’s. We loved them, and you’re right! They were quick, easy and delicious! ❤ My Mom passed away 2 years ago. Oh how I wish she were here. I’d make them for her now! 😊
May your Mom R.I.P. 🙏💞
Make Them For The Two Of You On Her Heavenly Birthday. My Momma Passed In 2014. She Would Have Been 100 yrs. Old This October 31st.
This is how my momma made donuts. Upvote just for the memories :) My brother and I feasted like kings on these growing up. My friends from the city didnt understand how my momma made us donuts all the time Lol
I'm 65 yrs old and my mom use to make these kind of donuts also when I was little. the biscuit dough was not this brand but everyone sure loved them. thank you for the memories. I had already forgotten about this simple donut recipe . ❤
Tocaya!
My memories too!
I have to try this, with my grandsons. They love their cool Pop-pop! 😎
I’ve heard of people doing this, but didn’t imagine it turning out so beautifully! They look so pretty!
What??
They are delicious and so easy to do, lots of fun with children or grandchildren
No much no
@@Lucinda_Jackson m no ii Dr
I had no clue you could do this. You just saved my life. I’m gonna go make all the donuts ever now
Oh boy!! You brought back memories of my childhood! My mom use to make can biscuit donuts with the cinnamon and granulated sugar mixture, they were so good my mouth is watering just remembering! You have inspired me to make these this weekend with my son, he’s gonna love them! Thank you!
ua-cam.com/video/2lQjguIyY2I/v-deo.html
I've never made these but I'm going to try to make them.
De f e
🗣Thank you. I am going to do this with my grand children.My sister use to do this about 60 yrs ago and I always think of her when I see donuts.You have made my life more beautiful today and I can wait until I see my gkids again. They will be so happy.Thank you lady. This is how we make our world better by sharing with one another. 💯🌷💝😘
Haven't seen this done in years when I was a kid and my mom made them for us. Such a treat! Thanks for the trip down memory lane! Will do for my family over the holidays.
I love your style of talking and working. You sound like a gentle soul. Thank you for sharing.
Reminds me so much of when I cook beignets. Grands original rolled out to a quarter inch cut into quarters deep fried just a moment and then toped with powdered sugar. Amazing freaking amazing. Just like Cafe Du Monde in the French Quarters that have been cooking nothing but those and coffee for over a hundred years
I hear the resounding clap of a thousand Frenchmen smacking their foreheads.
@@oliviamartini9700 thank you very much. At 60 years old like myself we can say their grandparents ate there. Thank you for the comment
Now, you're bringing me back memories. My mom made
beignets for my family too. Yum! I think I'll try my hand at both.
My granny called those dough belly's! (Reading your comment took me right back to my childhood)
❤Cafe Du Monde! Beignets and Chicory Coffee! I don't remember them using canned biscuits though. 🤔 I do remember coming home and making them from a box of beignet mix I bought there, along with a can of chicory coffee. Love this method though! 😍
My Mom made these for us. Im 41 and have toddlers. This is so nostalgic for me. Thanks for sharing!
Normally I'd think it's crazy to make donuts this way, but your recipes have never done me wrong before.
They’re really good.
If you don’t add any icing, these are a perfect way to make Hungarian Langos (fry bread) smear it with garlic and eat with Chicken Paprikas and you’re in Hungarian hog heaven. My favorite home meal growing up
That sounds so good!!! I've never had Hungarian food.
👍Yes
Oh my
I always wanted to try paprikash!! Thanks for the tip!!
Delish
My mom did the same thing with sugar and cinnamon! I've never heard anyone else with that story growing up but now I see a lot of people got the same experience!
I have always loved that popping when the can pops
If you want them even a little sweeter try substituting pancake mix but make it into dough instead of pourable pancake liquid. Of course you can be creative with the mix and add cinnamon or other various flavorings.
I was doing this before anyone else thought of it.
And I told EVERYONE.
So this makes me really happy.
It only takes a drop in the bucket to make a ripple.
Yay!
My son loves making these! When he was in high school, he’d make them before school and bring them to his first class. He said the girls loved him and hated him (diet). 🤣😂🤣 Easiest and tastiest doughnuts!! He liked to make a chocolate glaze for his.
My sister used to make cream puffs and leave them and her friends Locker at school. They've been married for about 45 years. A way to a man's heart is through his stomach
I tried your recipe, turned out great. With the donuts I filled some with Lemon apple and cherry filling. My husband almost made himself sick from eating so many lol. For the holes I did the same and those turned out to be my favorite ones.
@angelamcintosh I went to Walmart and bought a box of filling bags ($5.89) and a tray of the tips ($11.98). I just filled the donuts after they cooled. But make sure when buying the filler for the donuts that on the can it says “pie filler”. That works much better. Just like they do at Krispy Kreme doughnuts.
Those look really good. I never thought about making donuts out of canned biscuit dough before. The possibilities are enormous here I think.
My mom did this for me also! I can't wait to do this with my 10 year old son.
Make them with a side ham scrambled eggs. Thank me later
Those look delicious! When my mom would make homemade donuts the glaze that she would make was left over brewed coffee and powdered sugar.....it was amazing on those donuts! I'm not good at making homemade donuts, but I'm going to try your method and make her glaze, I bet that'll be delicious 😊
Wow, coffee! That sounds so good!
How did your mom make the glaze, it sounds yummy?
I stumbled upon this video and I’m so glad I did! Definitely gonna make this for my family. Maple donuts are my favorite and replacing the vanilla for maple extract would be sooo good! 😍
I grew up on these when times were hard back in the days. Now it’s a trendy snack all over the net. Thanks for the memories of my younger self, ❤
Excellent video im glad you can remember your cooking donuts it makes me happy knowing that stay in your heart
That's the one thing I love about Pillsbury you can make many different kinds of things. I use the Pillsbury Croissants to make pizza.
My daughter was allergic to everything fast food as a little girl. So I made these for her and my three boys to share. She's grown now and makes them for her babies. So many beautiful memories that last a lifetime 💝
I learned how to make these years ago with the cinnamon and sugar. Haven't done it in quite some time but this video is an inspiration. I will definitely do it with the glaze, thanks.
I tried this out with my husband yesterday, and just had fun with it. I did actually have a hint of doughiness in the middle, so I popped it in the oven for about 10 minutes to fix my issue. It came out beautifully, and they were just so much fun. I’ve actually watched this video more than once, I even had a friend show me how to make donuts when I was 19 or somewhere around that age- and I can honestly say I finally made them. Lol. It’s so silly, I’ve just always wanted to try. So yeah. Thank you for your recipe. Much love. 💗 Daisy
😊
Every store for 100 miles has stopped selling the original grands flakey biscuits..... they sell every other kind of grands. Just no original for some stupid reason. They are the only biscuits I'll eat...
I would have had mine cooking. These people take forever. Makes it boring 💤
Mom's everywhere, loved this quick and easy
treat. 🍩🍩 ❤️❤️
That was very simple. I will definitely try this out.
Havent had the idea of making these for along time until I saw your post. Thank you for sending me back in time with some of the best memories of sharing the baking with 3 of my great aunties, grandma and momma. I'm 69 as of this past 14th of the month, and I transported back to when I was 4 years old sitting at the table icing Christmas cookies. These look so easy and even though it's just me, I'm going to bake them for just me and eat them all. LOL
Awesome video,and tutorial. Growing up in the 70s and on the wrong side of track, these were the only donuts I had ever seen. I can afford whatever I want now but I still cook the recipes my mom and granny made. They are just as good and i still feel my granny next to me. I live in texas and my granny was from Southeast Kentucky.
I’ve been making these for over 40 years they’re so good and easy 😁👍
My momma always made donuts from the small regular size cans and would float them in a sugar and water glaze. They were amazing and we loved them!
This reminded me of my Mama stewing dried apples with sugar, water & a splash of lemon, then rolling out canned biscuits & frying apple turnovers. I really liked them cold from the fridge the next day. I think I will try these with the flaky biscuits soon. I love twists.
These look simple enough for me to even try! Def going to! Thx!
My grandmother used to do this when we were younger. She used to also fill the dough with taco meat or refried beans then fry them. Awesome snack
Sounds good mijo
. Taco meat is called picadillo...
almost 5 years without my mom.... I just turned 30 and I miss her more than ever after watching this. we used to make these and I can literally taste them. we just dipped them in powdered sugar like fair food or a glaze like you did...I'm off work today I might have to make these.
My mom made these for us in the mornings. She used the cheap canned biscuits and a 2 liter soda bottle cap to cut out the donut holes. Sprinkle with powdered sugar and they taste just like funnel cake!
Funnel cake yum
Made this tonight! They were eaten up SO quick! I had a hard time getting the twist donuts to cook enough on the inside before the outside got too dark. But all the other shapes came out fantastic! I followed your glaze recipe as well and only needed a extra tablespoon of water. Thank you for sharing this!
I have 2 cans in my fridge. Sounds like a plan. Yum! 😋
Just tried these tonite & they are the bomb! Great way to get fresh made donuts with very little time & effort, love shortcuts like this. Thank-you, Thank-you, Thank-you!
Tips and advice:
The NON flaky (no layers) biscuits work best! The cheapest (4-packs) do just fine.
My glaze was either milk and powdered sugar (sometimes added cinnamon) or lemon/orange juice with powdered sugar.
I use to inject a little jelly into the donut holes.
I never twisted them because I preferred the dough be fully cooked. Even if I didn’t make “holes”, I put a small hole in the middle just to be sure it cooked thoroughly.
what kind of oil? vegetable? crisco?
🤤🤤🤤🤤🤤🤤
@@avanellehansen4525 (sorry for the delay) regular vegetable oil
fresh dough works much better. As simple as a 2:1 ratio of Self Rising flour and Plain Yogurt, IE 2 cups the flour, 1 cup the yogurt. Its good as just that, but you can edit the dough from there- add a bit of sugar and vanilla to make them sweeter, add a bit of cinnamon or chocolate (I like to use Nesquick). This makes a very wet dough, best to put in a bag, cut off the corner and use a pair of scissors to snip little dollops as you squeeze it out into the oil for donut holes. If you add a bit more flour and chill it, it could be a bit more firm for you to kneed and roll out and make shapes and traditional donuts and such.
Tips for topping- If you're going to glaze or roll in sugar or cinnamon sugar, do while they are still a little hot and oily. If you're going to dip them into a thicker icing or roll in powdered sugar, let them cool off a bit first. I haven't thought to try a lemon glaze, but now I think I will, thank you.
Thank you. I’m about to fry donuts for a church fair and while I know how to make a yeast donut, grappling with rising times…mixing…cutting out and everything while guarding my oil from little children had me nervous. With this, I could just have a small cooler of my “whomp” biscuits and fry as needed rather than have my massive and precarious tray of yeasted donuts over riding in the sun while I wait on folks. My booth is “decorate your own donut.”
Oh my goodness, I haven’t thought about how fun these doughnuts are in years! We definitely have to make these again! Thank you!
And don’t forget that you can use powdered sugar, too!
This brings back great memories! One of the first things I think my mom taught me to make and I taught it to my kids too! TFS
Oh gosh.. This took me way back to my childhood. My mom made these for us with the cinnamon sugar. Loved them. I will be making some for my boys and will try them with glaze as well. Thanks for sharing.
Looks amazing. On our list for the weekend to try. Thanks mama.
Gonna try this myself, normally I would make donuts from scratch...this looks so much more easier and less messy.
My mom did the same thing with cinnamon sugar and i did it for my boys. The donut holes were always the best part to me lol! i have actually been craving these and hope to make again now that i have my mom moved in with me.
I'm going to try this recipe tomorrow morning with a fresh cup of coffee and a 🍩
My mom made these when I was younger ! I’ve been meaning to make some myself - def going to this weekend . 😆
I asked a guy at a donut shop one time if his donuts were fat free and he said yes that they don't charge a dime for the fat or the sugar so sugar free and fat free!!
👍
🤣😂🤣
Lol that's funny
He’s a smart guy, don’t question the obvious. 😂
Lol sounds right 😋
Thank you. I never heard of biscuits turning into beautiful donut shop goodness.
I have been making these for nearly 50 years. They are also delicious tossed in cinnamon and sugar while they are hot.
These look so easy to make! My husband loves glazed donuts so I'll be adding what the recipe calls for so I can pick it up this weekend! Thanks so much for sharing!!😋💞
Yes,these are a flash to the past! They are a yummy treat. Easy and economical. Thanks for this trip down memory lane. I am 72. My mom also made these.
What a wholesome and soothing video and comment section! Great video! Maybe I’ll try to make these tomorrow. Thanks for the inspiration!
I make a chocolate frosting with melted butter, chocolate, powdered sugar, vanilla, and a little milk. I dip one side in like a typical donut. Equally tasty is one just rolled in cinnamon and sugar while still nice and warm from the fryer. So good!
I am learning how to cook. I have never seen donuts made like this. You learn something new every day. When I hit the grocery store next time, I am going buy some biscuit dough and give it a try. Nothing ventured, Nothing gained.
I never heard of making doughnuts with biscuit dough. I will have to try this. Thanks for sharing. It was very satisfying to watch. I saw a guy put biscuit dough in oiled muffin cups. Then he topped it with a mixture of parmesan, mozzarella cheeses, chopped pepperoni and a hint of olive oil and Italian seasoning. After baking he dunked them in warm pizza sauce. It looked awesome.
I made this for my Staff as a treat and no one knew it was PILLSBURY Biscuits. I did powered sugar, Cinnamon Sugar simple and yummy when still warm.
OMG! This is my favorite video now. I'm going to make some this weekend. 😋 Thank youuuuuuuu 😃 ❤️
I used to make these in my restaurant, Customers loved them!
Oh my gosh! What a coincidence! I’m having friends over this weekend and I kept thinking of a fun but easy dessert to make, that was “fall-ish” and I thought “oh, I’ll make biscuit donuts and roll them in pumpkin spice sugar!” 👍🏻😋
🥵🙏😱
Funny I was just watching TV and they were making donuts. They made dough from scratch, but this shortcut looks great, they also made a maple glaze with maple extract powdered sugar and sprinkled real bacon bits on it. maple glaze and bacon doughnuts.
@@Kenneth-tx8mg 🤤 That sounds righteous!
That sounds delicious 😇
@@Kenneth-tx8mg yummy!
My Mom made these when I was young. I am 58. That was a long time ago. Great memory. ❤️
My Abuelita would always do donuts just like that but with sugar & canelita. Ohh miss her dearly! You brought back some beautiful memories 💕
Hi! I was just wondering what canelita is? I googled it and it didn’t mention food.
Cinnamon
@@haydeemedrano2293 thank you!
A great memory for the family. It’s like you stated ! You remember your mother making them
Fried biscuits with icing. Yum
Been making these for years and my mom before me.a very simple and quick treat.good too..
Yep ! That brings back memories. That's how my mom used to make them. My mom also used milk instead of water and no salt when making the glaze. Those were the days!💛🌻
My mother used to make these with regular biscuits because Grands did not exit. She taught me how to do it as well. Yummy.
Yes I remember this as a child it is simple and easy! The taste is good as well. You're definitely taking me back to my childhood. 😀 I definitely have to make these soon and let you know how they turn out after so many years of me not making them!😀🥛💜
My Mother did not make these, but the 4 kids at home in the summertime did just that. We also would go to the neighborhood store and buy a $.10 cent pack of yeast and make all kinds of goodies. Plus on Saturday mornings at the farmers market down the block would be packed with farmers and home-baked goodies.. We would purchase an entire farm fresh apple pie for $.50 cents. We grew up in the Midwest good eating. I truly miss those days and prices. 😋
They look so delicious
TFS
We did this when I was a kid. My grandma also made hand pies with them. You roll out the biscuits a little then put a spoonful of pie filling , then fold it over seal the edges and fry them up and dust them with powdered sugar if you like.
I make "cinnamon rolls" out of canned croissants. Store brand works just fine. Cut them into wedge strips, sprinkle with cinnamon and sugar, roll and bake. Then use the confection sugar glaze over the top. If you have cinnamon chips (like chocolate chips" you can add those in also when rolling them up before cooking. Nice easy treats can be made from these canned doughs. I will have to try the donuts next!
Sounds awesome
Oven temperature?
I’m going to try this today. I don’t have any snacks and I don’t have any money to go out to buy snacks. I have everything except for vanilla flavoring. Thank you
Hi you always have great content thank you for sharing.
Thumbs up have a great and blessed day. ☺👍
I use to do this when I was a kid. And, thought of doing this not long ago for my grandchildren. I think I will do this on their next visit. Thanks.
I loved watching this video, soothing and tasty.
Watches video, exits UA-cam, opens shopping app, adds canned biscuits to list. Thank you. I'm going to try these. They look amazing.
New sub here! These look delicious! Definitely an inexpensive way to have donuts for a family of 7. I can think of 100s of ways to customize the donuts already lol! I am definitely going to make these for myself, husband, and our 5 children on Christmas 2022 morning!
We used to make these camping when I was in cub Scouts I dont like doughnuts but these are delicious for sure especially with cinnamon sugar.
Wow! Those are beautiful! I didn't know that you could make donuts that easily.
I made donuts for my kids with the canned biscuits 60 and years ago . They loved them warm with sugar coating. Fun to do.
