Strawberry Doughnuts                   



Ingredients:
Oil for deep-frying
1 packet refrigerated fresh dough for buttermilk biscuits
Ripe strawberries, rinsed, drained, hulled
Sugar or confectioner's sugar
Confectioner's sugar




Directions:
Heat oil for deep frying to 365 degrees. Meanwhile, separate biscuit dough into biscuits, cut each in half, and flatten into rounds about 1/8-inch thick. Place a ripe strawberry (coated with sugar or confectioner's sugar) in the center of each round of dough. Gather edge to the top and twist or pinch to seal. Fry doughnuts, a few at a time, in heated fat about 2 minutes, or until browned, turning occasionally. Drain on absorbent paper.
Sift confectioner's sugar generously over hot doughnuts and serve immediately.
