Ingredients

for the donuts:

  • 1 tube of refrigerated biscuit dough
  • vegetable oil enough to fill your frying pan so your raw dough floats and is half submerged

for the glaze:

  • 1 1/2 cups of powdered sugar
  • 2-3 tablespoons of milk
  • 2 teaspoons of vanilla
  • toppings and flavorings optional

Instructions

  • Heat oil over your stove in a large frying pan on medium-high heat. Take the biscuits out of their packaging and flatten them a bit with your hands. Cut out the centers with a water bottle cap or small cookie cutter. Save the middle-pieces for some delicious donut holes!

  • Gently place the dough into the oil and watch carefully as it begins to brown. It only takes about a minute! Flip the dough with some tongs once the underside is golden.

  • Continue frying until both sides of your donuts are light brown and cooked through the center. Remove from the oil and place on a plate lined with paper towels. Pat the excess oil off and let it cool.

  • Dip your donuts, one at a time, in the bowl until the donut is half submerged. Transfer to a wire cooling rack. Dip each donut one more time to get a nice, thick layer of icing. Add sprinkles or toppings, then let the glaze harden completely before serving.
