Health and fertility benefits of Mini Churro Doughnut Holes
Cinnamon is one of the best ingredients that someone with insulin sensitivity can eat. Half a teaspoon of cinnamon per day has been shown to be very effective at normalizing blood sugar levels. Cinnamon contains hydroxychalcone, which is thought to enhance the effects of insulin. It has also been suggested that Cinnamon prevents post-meal blood sugar spikes by slowing the gastric emptying rate - meaning that food digests slowly. (Reference: http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/11506060).
Ingredients
Canola oil for deep-frying
1/2 cup cinnamon-sugar
1/3 cup powdered sugar
1 can (16.3 oz) Pillsbury™ Grands!™ Flaky Layers refrigerated biscuits
Caramel sauce, if desired
Instructions
Fill 3-quart saucepan one-third full with oil. Heat over medium heat to about 350 °F. Line plate with paper towels; set aside.
In small bowl, stir together cinnamon-sugar and powdered sugar; set aside.
Separate dough into 8 biscuits. Split each biscuit into 2 rounds; place on cutting board. Using very small doughnut-hole cutter or mouth of an empty bottle, cut out mini-sized doughnut holes.
When oil is hot, carefully drop a few of the doughnut holes into oil at a time. (See Tip.) Using slotted metal spoon or kitchen spider, continuously turn holes over and over until golden brown. Remove from oil; place on paper towel-lined plate to drain. Immediately place holes in sugar mixture; coat completely. Serve doughnut holes immediately drizzled with caramel sauce.
