Easy Homemade Jelly Donuts

1 - 16.3 oz can refrigerated butter-flavored biscuits
1 cup strawberry or seedless raspberry jam
2 cups vegetable oil
1/8 cup powdered sugar
1/8 cup sugar

Carefully separate each biscuit into 3 layers to make 24 pieces. Place an equal amount of jam in the centers of half of the layers (you should have jam in 12 of the layers). Top each with one of the remaining biscuit layers. Pinch edges together making sure they are sealed well.
In a large deep skillet, heat oil over medium-low heat until hot but not smoking. Fry donuts in batches, 3 or 4 at the most, for 4 or 5 minutes, turning to brown on both sides. Drain on a paper towel lined platter or on top of a brown paper bag.
In a small bowl, combine the powdered sugar and sugar. Sprinkle the sugar mixture on each of the donuts.
Can be served warm or cool.
