Does anyone got the recipe of "soul cakes" ?

my dad makes "soul cakes" at their church's fall festival but he cheats and uses canned biscuit dough (any brand will work but make sure it's not the flaky biscuits) and punches holes in then and puts them in a pan with hot grease...they leave out powder sugar, cinnamon/sugar, and plain sugar out so the kids can put their topping on it...their really good and really easy to make....

Yepp, I found two good ones.

3/4 cup butter
