Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 can Pillsbury Grands Flaky Layers Biscuits
- 4 cups Vegetable oil
- 1 cup Granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon Ground cinnamon (optional)
- 1 cup Powdered sugar (optional, for glaze)
- 2 tablespoons Milk (optional, for glaze)
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract (optional, for glaze)
Instructions
Open the can of Pillsbury Grands biscuits and separate the biscuits onto a clean surface.
Using a small round cutter (like a bottle cap or a piping tip), cut out the centers of each biscuit to create the classic doughnut shape. Save the centers to fry as doughnut holes.
In a large, heavy-bottomed pot, heat the vegetable oil to 350°F (175°C). Use a kitchen thermometer to ensure the oil stays at the right temperature, as this is key to golden, evenly cooked doughnuts.
Carefully place 2-3 doughnuts into the hot oil at a time, ensuring not to overcrowd the pot. Fry the doughnuts for 1-2 minutes per side, or until they are golden brown.
Using a slotted spoon, remove the fried doughnuts and place them on a wire rack lined with paper towels to drain excess oil. Repeat with the remaining doughnuts and doughnut holes.
While the doughnuts are still warm, toss them in granulated sugar, or a mixture of sugar and cinnamon, to coat. For doughnuts with glaze, proceed to the next step.
To make the glaze, whisk together powdered sugar, milk, and vanilla extract in a small bowl until smooth. Dip the tops of the cooled doughnuts into the glaze and place them back on the wire rack to set.
Serve the doughnuts fresh and enjoy! They are best eaten on the same day they are made.
