Deb, there are no words for your suffering.
Made donuts this morning...if you can believe it, I have never used canned biscuits before... it was an epic struggle. I followed the directions, I thought, and pushed a spoon into the seam. Apparently you're supposed to strip it of outer packaging first... so when that didn't work I moved to stabbing it with a knife, which caused biscuit parts to ooze out the holes. I was eventually able to peel it open, but jeez, what a struggle. I had told BF to buy "the cheapest store brand biscuits" per the recipe so of course he returned with butter flavored flaky grands, so my donuts are more like flaky donuts, but they taste good.

For those who want the recipe, it's easy, once you get the biscuits open.
Follow the directions exactly to get the cheapest store brand biscuit storage device open.
Remove a hole from center of individual biscuit.
Fry in about half inch of oil, turning halfway until lightly brown.
Remove from pan, place on plate with paper towels to help sop up the oil. Let cool a few minutes. Dip in a cinnamon sugar mix (I think I used 1 cup sugar to 1/2 tablespoon cinnamon, mixed well), then eat.
