Pillsbury Cream Puffs

I ran out of Churro's, so I pulled out a can of Pillsbury biscuits.      

1. Heat oil for frying in deep-fryer or deep skillet to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Cut biscuits into strips. Fry until golden; drain on paper towels.
2. Combine 1/4 cup sugar and 1/4 teaspoon cinnamon. Roll drained biscuits in cinnamon and sugar mixture or here are 3 other variations~ powered sugar, chocolate glaze and chocolate glazed filled with vanilla pudding.  *** How I made my chocolate glaze in a hurry~ I just melted Wilton's Chocolate frosting in the microwave for about 20 seconds. 

***notes~ next time I will mix cool whip in with the jello,  equal portions.
I thought of Pillsbury biscuits because I remember somewhere seeing a recipe that used the biscuits and called them donuts.  But from the feedback I was getting is that they taste like cream puffs.  I also got the suggestion to add pudding, and that addition really made these treats better.
