Easy Sugared Donuts
Sometimes there's no substitute for fried yeast donuts so when I get a craving I skip making the dough from scratch and use store-bought biscuit dough instead.
Ingredients
- 2 quarts canola oil or other neutral oil with a high smoke point
- 1 10-oz can Pillsbury Grands buttermilk biscuit dough
- 1 cup granulated sugar
Instructions
- In a large pot or deep fryer, heat the oil to 375°F (190°C). Place the sugar in a shallow bowl.
- Separate the biscuits and lay them flat on a work surface. Cut a circle out of each center, using a round cookie cutter, so the biscuits look like donuts. You can roll the circles you cut out into balls to make donut holes.
- Carefully transfer the donuts, working in batches if needed, to the hot oil and fry them until they are golden brown on each side. Transfer the fried donuts to a wire rack placed over a sheet pan to drain.
- While the donuts are still hot, coat them in the sugar on both sides and serve.
Notes
If you want to make a batch of donut holes only, divide each biscuit into three parts and roll each into a ball. You will end up with 24 donut holes.
