Did the fried ones with glaze. My daughter, Jillia, and I had a blast and they tasted wonderful. We will definitely be doing it again.

When hot, very good. Ok, it's not a real doughnut but in a pinch, it is good.

I read the reviews and I was iffy if I should even do this..well i did. It turned out decent. It did taste like a biscuit with sugar but after i put Kraft Chocolate Indulgence cream cheese it tasted much better and I didn't have the biscuit taste to it. They stayed soft so thankfully the doughnuts didn't get hard like I've read with some reviews. It was not the best but it worked for me.

Quick and east without frying them. I used flaky biscuits, added cinnamon to the sugar, took whatever was left of the butter dumped it into the cinnamon sugar, added some powdered sugar, and a splash of milk to make a glaze. A little grainy with the regular sugar mixed in but they were good enough. Super sweet with the glaze but I made them with my Grandchildren and they just loved them. To make them less sweet just dip and coat the top with cinnamon sugar and watch the baking time.

Looks can be deceiving... These just tasted like a biscuit with sugar on it, nothing like a doughnut. I would not make these again.

We loved these....they reminded me of donuts that a little old lady gave out at Halloween when I was a kid...they were biscuits fried into donuts...these are SO much easier....I added a little cinnamon with the sugar, and any of the Grands! biscuits , or Jr. Grands! work great! You can eveen shake them in a plastic baggie with a little more sugar if you like....OR, shake in powdered sugar too...brings back good memories and you can have them in a flash !

The picture made these look good but they weren't. They didn't taste anything like doughnuts. They tasted like sugar covered biscuits. They were at least edible straight from the oven hot, but when they cooled just a little bit, they got rock hard. No one cared for them so I scraped as much sugar off them as I could and the dogs thought they made great dog biscuits. Sorry.

My husband loved these. I thought they were just okay. I think they have too much sugar on them when rolled in sugar. I think they would be better if you just sprinkled them with sugar, because all I could taste was sugar.
