Ingredients

•½ cup sugar
•2 tablespoons ground cinnamon
•2 tablespoons roasted and crushed sesame seeds
•1 tube tube Pillsbury original biscuit dough
•4 cups Crisco shortening

Cooking Instructions

1.
Mix the sugar, cinnamon, and sesame seeds in a medium-size bowl.
2 min
2.
Pop open the tube of dough and pull apart the biscuits-they come preportioned, so this will be easy. In a big, heavy pot, heat the shortening over high heat; you'll know it's ready when a tiny piece of biscuit dough sizzles when added to the oil. Fry the biscuit dough until each piece becomes puffy and brown on all sides, about 2 minutes. Flip the pieces over and fry them for 2 minutes more.

3.
Pull out the doughnuts and rest them on paper towels for a minute or two, then toss them immediately in the sugar mixture.
