I did not know you could just cook them in a skillet!!! What is your recipe? Can I make jelly filled (with a nice sugar coating)?
Every Christmas Eve we make them.
A good short cut. Get Pillsbury biscuit dough (yeah, the ones in the blue tubes)
Poke a hole in the middle of them.
Make sure the Crisco in the skillet in very hot. Put the donuts in the skillet (they will float). When nice and brown on one side flip 'em over.
Once you take them out of the skillet put them in a paper bag with brown sugar, and cinnamon,and shake em up.
