Canned Biscuit Dough Donuts and Holes

• 2 cans large buttermilk biscuits
• 1  teaspoon  ground cinnamon
• 1/4  cup  sugar
• Colored sprinkles
• Chocolate sprinkles
• 2  cup  confectioners' sugar, divided
• 1/4  cup  cocoa powder
• 5  tablespoon  milk, divided
• 1  teaspoon  vanilla extract
• Peanut oil, for frying

Heat 2-inches peanut oil in a large pot or dutch oven to 350 degrees F.

In a shallow bowl, stir together the sugar and ground cinnamon, set aside. In a small bowl, whisk together 1 cup of confectioners' sugar, 2 tablespoons of milk and 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract, set aside. This is the vanilla icing. In another bowl, whisk together 1 cup of confectioners' sugar, 1/4 cup of cocoa powder and 3 tablespoons of milk, set aside. This is the chocolate icing.

Lay out the biscuits on a cutting board and with a 1-1/2-inch round cookie or biscuit cutter, cut out a hole from the middle of each biscuit. Fry them in the oil until golden and then flip with tongs to fry the other side. You can even fry the donut holes. Drain on paper towels and then toss in the cinnamon-sugar or glaze and sprinkle as desired.
