Special thanks to Tina of Mommy's Kitchen for letting me know that today is National Jelly Filled Doughnut Day! She even suggested I re-post this in honor of such a prestigious holiday. As I am working on a tutorial for tomorrow and didn't have anything to post today, I decided to take her up on her advice! Hope you enjoy these! Gratefully, Christy

Ingredients
Quick and Easy Jelly Filled Doughnuts
1can biscuitsmake sure you don’t get the flaky layers type
1can store bought frostingvanilla, so you can tint it
Vegetable oil
Jamjelly, or preserves
Sprinkles
Instructions
Pour oil to a depth of about 1/2 ” in a large skillet. Heat on medium to medium high for several minutes, until oil is good and hot. Drop biscuits into oil and turn when they brown, this will happen very quickly. After they are browned on both sides, remove to paper towel lined plate.
Place jam into bag equipped with icing tip. You can also use a syringe or just use the jelly bottle (if you got the squeeze variety). Stick the tip into a doughnut and gently squeeze. Repeat with all doughnuts.
Place 1/2 can of frosting into bowl and add a few drops of your favorite food coloring. Stir well.
Heat in microwave for about thirty to forty five seconds, to make a glaze. Dip the top of each doughnut into the glaze and set aside to dry. Top with sprinkles.
