  3. Allow the biscuits to cool and drain on paper towels. Then place the handle of your wooden spoon through the fried bread. Not all the way through tho.

  4. Mix your vanilla filing mixture, [add fruit additions if you'd like] and place it in a Ziplock bag. Snip the end and gently squeeze filing inside the donut.
