Lay out a couple cans of refrigerated buttermilk biscuits on a cutting board.

Lightly flatten the biscuits and place a spoonful of strawberry jam in the center of half of them.

Top the ones with the jam with another biscuit and pinch the edges together.

Deep fry the donuts a few at a time until they puff up and both sides are golden brown.

Finish them off with some powdered sugar before serving.
