Cheater Donuts

Have you given up on your New Year's resolutions yet? Let us help you get there a little quicker by making some cheater donuts. This way you can enjoy the crispy fried taste without the risk of being caught in a donut shop by your friends that you made the resolution with. These are called cheaters because you don't even have to make the dough -- canned biscuit dough is all you need. And because, like we said, you can cheat on your resolution and no one has to know.
