Roman Doughnuts

Prep time: 10 minutes
Bake time: 10 minutes

1 can of refrigerated canned biscuits
1/2 stick of butter, melted
1/2 C. Sugar + 2 Tesp. cinnamon, mixed together

Cut each biscuit into 4ths. Dip into melted butter, then dip into cinnamon/sugar mixture. Bake according to package directions. (no need to grease the cookie sheet)

You may change the ratio of cinnamon and sugar to suit your taste. You also might need more or less butter depending on how liberally you dunk the dough. :)

This is super quick and easy, and great for the kids to help with. We made this at our church VBS this year and it was a big success!

Key Lime Pie

  • 6 eggs
  • two 14 oz. cans Eagle Brand sweetened condensed milk
  • 8 oz. key lime juice
  • graham cracker crust
  • Cool Whip
  • lime slices for garnish
In a large bowl beat together:
  • 6 egg yolks**
  • two 14 ounce cans sweetened condensed milk
Stir in 8 ounces of key lime juice. Pour into crust & bake @325 for 35-40 minutes. Cool completely, garnish with Cool Whip and lime slices. Keep refrigerated.

(**If you are very frugal you can keep the unused egg whites and make omelets with them.)

This is so rich it should be wrong! But such a yummy dessert to splurge on for a special dinner.
