Mix the sugar and cinnamon in a mixing bowl and set aside.

I use a frying pan that has approximately 1 ½ inches of vegetable oil. The burner is set to medium-high. If you have a thermometer, heat to 325 degrees Fahrenheit. If you do not have one, put the tip of a wooden spoon in the oil, if it bubbles, the oil is ready. You can also see the oil shimmering in the pan a bit.

The dough should be thin. This allows it to fry quickly and thoroughly without leaving any raw dough in the middle. If you are using the biscuits, stretch each biscuit as thin as it will go without tearing and carefully place it into the hot oil. If you are using pizza dough like I am today, just use something to cut approximately 2-inch circles out of the dough.

Depending on how big your frying pan is you can put more than one biscuit in at a time. I generally put two or three in at once.

When the biscuits are golden brown on the bottom, flip them over and fry the other side. I use a tongs to do this; however, you could use two forks to flip them. Be careful not to splash the hot oil.

It takes approximately 30 seconds to fry on each side. This goes quickly once you start to fry.

When the biscuits are done on each side, carefully place them on to a paper towel to catch the excess oil.

Cover both sides with cinnamon sugar and serve warm.

Optional is to add the pie filling or jam on top.
