Well, we had a very successful breakfast. The Mountainman Breakfast was a big hit. But I was a little disappointed with the Canned Biscuits.
First, I've never really done any frying in a skillet before, so I wasn't sure what temperature to use. I'd heard somewhere that 450 was agood frying temperature, so I tried that. That is too hot! So I would suggest using around 350.
Secondly, I used Pillsbury Grands Buttermilk biscuits. They're a good choice. They're a nice size and fairly easy to cut the doughnut hole. Since I didn't have a doughnut cutter, I used the screw top off of a honey bottle. It was the perfect size. But I learned that you should always push the hole cutter all the way through, rather than pushing it in and then pulling it out. By pushing it through, you get a good, clean cut and no ripping of the dough.
Third, the mixture of the powdered sugar and the evaporated milk is way too thin. When you brush it on, it just kind of soaks in and doesn't do a lot for the taste. We went to straight powdered sugar, and that was terrific. I think another good topping would be a mixture of sugar and cinnamon. If a glaze is desired, I'd reduce the evaporated milk to maybe a 1/4 cup. It should be thick enough that it doesn't soak in like water.
If I rate this recipe based on the way I recieved it, I'd give it a C. With a few modifications like I mentioned, and that I will use, I think it will be a nice A.
I've posted a picture of the finished product.
