Method

  1. Combine sugar, cinnamon, and sesame seeds in a medium-sized bowl.

  2. Open the tube of dough and separate the biscuits. They should already be portioned.

  3. In a large, heavy pot, heat the shortening over high heat. It should be ready when a small piece of biscuit dough sizzles when added to the oil.

  4. Fry the biscuit dough until each piece becomes puffy and golden brown on all sides. This should take about 2 minutes.

  5. Flip the pieces over and fry them for an additional 2 minutes.

  6. Remove the doughnuts from the pot and place them on paper towels for a minute or two to drain excess oil.

  7. Immediately coat the doughnuts in the sugar mixture.

  8. Repeat the frying and coating process with the remaining dough.

  9. Enjoy the doughnuts.

  10. Be aware that eating too many may cause bloating.
