Ingredients

1 package of Pillsbury Original Crescent Rolls Twin Pack 8 oz
1 cup of frying oil
1 cup of refined sugar
2 tablespoons of powdered cinnamon
1/2 cup of dulce de leche optional

Instructions

Open two packages of Pillsbury Original Crescent Rolls Twin Pack 8 oz and extend over a wooden board. Place both sheets of dough together and then fold. Using a rolling pin try to even out the dough.
Cut the donuts using a doughnut cutter. Leftover pieces of dough use them to form balls. Refrigerate the donuts until ready to fry.
Place a deep frying pan in the stove and fill it with frying oil. And let it rise to a frying temperature. Oil needs to be hot.
Fry each donut one by one and place on a paper towel to remove excess oil.
Mix the sugar with the cinnamon powder and dust the donuts with it. Place doughnuts on a nice serving dish and add sugar skull pins to decorate.

Notes

You will need a doughnut cutter and sugar skull pins to decorate. Do not use peanut oil since it will overcook the donuts. You can use soybean, corn or canola. You can pair the donuts with dulce de leche, and a cup of hot chocolate, a glass of milk, and or coffee.
