Default Greek honey doughnuts...

My mother used to make her version of "leukumathes" (a Greek dish consisting of balls of fried dough with honey poured over it) out of deep fried Pillsbury biscuit dough.

It was one of my favorite treats back then. (No wonder I've had weight issues since I was a kid--favorite foods? sweets, pastries, spaghetti and bread, mashed potatoes, french fries, rice--not that I didn't like my protein, but I ate too amply of these high-carb bad boys--I fact I used to fantasize about a place called Spaghettiland where everything was made out of spaghetti, because I loved it so much... btw, my other genetic background definitely has some Italian in it).

I've see those fried biscuit/donuts dipped in granulated sugar at Chinese food buffet tables. (Not that I've even dared a Chinese food buffet since I started on this diet... way too hard to navigate THOSE hidden or not-hidden carbs).

Yes, they do make great tasting, albeit VERY unhealthy doughnuts.

LC doughnuts? I suppose, with the right LC bread or baking mix.

Doooo - nuts!
