Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cans Pillsbury crescent rolls
- 4 cups Vegetable oil
- 1 cup Powdered sugar
- 0.5 cup Salted caramel sauce
- 1 teaspoon Sea salt flakes
- 2 tablespoons Milk
Instructions
Unroll the Pillsbury crescent roll dough from the cans, being careful to keep the sheets intact. Press the perforations together to form seamless sheets.
Stack one sheet of dough on top of another, pressing gently to seal them together. Repeat with the second can of dough. You should now have two thick stacks of dough.
Use a round cookie cutter (approximately 3 inches in diameter) to cut circles out of each dough stack. Then use a smaller cutter (1 inch in diameter) to cut holes out of the center of each circle, forming doughnut shapes.
Heat vegetable oil in a deep frying pan or Dutch oven to 350°F (175°C). Ensure the oil is deep enough to fully submerge the doughnuts.
Fry the doughnuts a few at a time, being careful not to overcrowd the pan. Cook each side for about 1 to 2 minutes or until golden brown. Remove using a slotted spoon and place on a plate lined with paper towels to drain the excess oil.
In a small bowl, whisk together the powdered sugar and milk to create a glaze. Drizzle the glaze over each doughnut while they are still warm.
Drizzle the salted caramel sauce over the glazed doughnuts. Sprinkle a pinch of sea salt flakes on top of each doughnut for a final touch.
Serve warm and enjoy this indulgent treat!
