I am not normally a person that likes sweet things for breakfast. Occasionally I may splurge on French toast or chocolate chip pancakes but normally I’m more of a cold pizza for breakfast type of girl. Unfortunately for me, Mr. Beet is the complete opposite. He loves sweet pastries and Belgian waffles first thing in the morning.

The only exception for me would be a glazed Krispy Kreme doughnut. Especially if it’s warm. I may or may not have the ability to eat a half dozen glazed Krispy Kremes in one sitting. Doughnuts are one of those things that Mr. Beet and I can agree on.

I’ve been obsessing a little with canned biscuits and trying to come up with new ways to use them besides as a side dish for dinner. Some have been delicious, some have been flops. Sorry, I’m not writing about the flops. But I did make doughnuts. And they were good.

All I did was use a mini cookie cutter to make the hole in the middle, then set them out on a cookie sheet, spray with cooking spray and let them bake for 12 minutes in a 350° oven. Simple.

Then there’s all those things that make doughnuts fun. The sprinkles. The cocoa powder dusting. The crushed peanuts. The toppings.

And the middles make nice little doughnut holes as well.

That’s very cute and you are right, it’s the glaze that makes the doughnut. Ohhhhhhhhhhhh Krispy Kreme hot from the store - haven’t had those in ages but I could probably top your half dozen if I did :-)
