Ingredients

  • ½ cup sugar
  • 2 tablespoons ground cinnamon
  • 2 tablespoons roasted and crushed sesame seeds

Cooking Instructions

  1. 1.

    Mix the sugar, cinnamon, and sesame seeds in a medium-size bowl.

    2 min

  2. 2.

    Pop open the tube of dough and pull apart the biscuits-they come preportioned, so this will be easy. In a big, heavy pot, heat the shortening over high heat; you'll know it's ready when a tiny piece of biscuit dough sizzles when added to the oil. Fry the biscuit dough until each piece becomes puffy and brown on all sides, about 2 minutes. Flip the pieces over and fry them for 2 minutes more.
