In keeping with the fried fest theme – one of Tony’s favorite donuts is a Boston cream donut.  I searched high and low for recipes and they all involved a 2 1/2 hour process, letting the dough rise for an hour, cutting the donuts out, letting them rise again – until I found the ultimate recipe thanks to Christy at The Southern Plate!  It is so simple, I can’t believe I didn’t think of it!

  • 1 roll of refrigerator biscuits (not layers)
  • 1 small vanilla pudding
  • 1.5 cup milk
  • 8 ounces whip cream
  • chocolate frosting in a can
mix pudding with 1.5 cups of milk

I took about 3 tablespoons of the chocolate frosting and melted in the microwave for 30 seconds until it got nice and shiny.
