"when i was little my mother used to make whop doughnuts. which is simply canned biscuits with a hole poked in it, fried and rolled in sugar. she called them whop doughnuts because of the sound the can of biscuits makes when you bang it on the counter to open it. This is my from scratch version. they are fun to make and fun to eat."
