Ingredients
- 1 can refrigerated biscuit dough (regular, not flaky)
- Vegetable oil (for frying)
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar or cinnamon sugar
- Optional glaze: 1 cup powdered sugar, 1–2 tablespoons milk, 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions
- Pour oil into a deep skillet or saucepan, about 1–2 inches deep. Heat over medium heat to 350°F (175°C).
- Separate biscuit dough and cut out centers using a small cutter or bottle cap. Reserve centers for donut holes.
- Carefully place a few donuts into the hot oil. Fry for 1–2 minutes per side until golden brown.
- Remove with a slotted spoon and drain on paper towels.
- While warm, roll in granulated sugar or cinnamon sugar.
- Optional glaze: Whisk together powdered sugar, milk, and vanilla. Dip donuts and place on a rack to set.
- Serve warm for best taste.
Notes
- Use regular biscuit dough—avoid flaky or layered types.
- Keep oil temperature at 350°F to prevent greasy or undercooked donuts.
- Try donut holes using the cut-out centers—fry for about 1 minute each.
- Air fryer option: 350°F for 5–6 minutes, flipping halfway, then roll in sugar.
