I suppose you could make them with biscuit dough, poke a hole in them, fry them and then put them in a paper bag full of cinnamon and sugar and shake them around, I'd prefer that over most store donuts.
My mom used to make those every now and then on weekend mornings when I was a kid. That stopped when I was about 7 or 8 and she discovered Weight Watchers
I will always hold a grudge against them for that.
