churro donuts.

is there anything better than a crispy churro?!

really. how often do you get to indulge in one of those babies?!

not often enough. if you ask me.

and is there anything more delicious than a fresh baked donut?!

i could literally eat one {or two. or three} every. single. day.

and if i am being honest . . .

i did eat one every single day while i was preggo.

they are just oh. so. good.

so what could possibly be better than a churro donut?!

today i set out to make my version of churro donuts.

and i have to admit. i had great success.

quite possibly too much success.

as i see these sugar babies being made with great regularity.

how sweet do those look?!

perfectly doughy. perfectly sugary. perfectly cinnamony. 

d.e.l.i.c.i.o.u.s donuts.

& the best part is . . . they are a breeze to make.

all you need is:

one can of ready to bake biscuits

{any brand will do. but do not get the flaky ones}

1 and 1/4 cup of canola oil

4 tablespoons butter

1/2 cup sugar

4 tablespoons cinnamon

pour the oil into a frying pan & set over medium heat.

while the oil is heating up . . .

cut a hole in the center of each raw biscuit.

{i used a small. round. biscuit cutter}

mix the sugar & cinnamon in a bowl.

melt the butter in a separate bowl large enough to hold one biscuit.

place the biscuits in the hot oil. it should start to bubble & sizzle.

fry on each side for about 1.5 minutes. or until golden brown.

{now that the biscuits are fried they have become donuts}

using tongs. take the donuts out of the oil & dip into the melted butter.

place the buttered side of the donut down into the sugar & cinnamon mixture.

stir the donut around a bit to make sure it is covered in the sugar.

set on a cooling rack & try not to eat them all right away.

voila!

the perfect churro donut.

you will be blown away with these little treats.

they are doughy inside like a donut. with a crispy outside like a churro.

really. its the best of both worlds.

yum. yum. yum.
