Ingredients

Donuts

  • 1 can refrigerated biscuit dough 8 biscuits
  • 1 quart vegetable oil

Glaze

  • 2 cups powdered sugar
  • 1 ½ teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 3-4 tbs hot water

Instructions

  • Heat oil in a large pot or dutch oven to 375° F using a thermometer. It's easiest when the thermometer clips to the side of the pot to ensure the temperature is consistently at 375°F.
  • Place paper towels on a wire rack where you will place donuts when they come out of the hot oil. Set up another wire rack next to the first one for the glazing station. Place a paper towel underneath to catch excess glaze for easy clean up.
  • Mix glaze ingredients together until smooth. Add more hot water as needed for the consistency desired.
  • Separate biscuits and cut circles in the center of each disk. Roll each center piece into balls. Place donuts 2 at a time into hot oil until golden brown. Flip onto other side and fry again until golden brown. This should only take about 1-2 minutes for each side.
  • Scoop donuts out with a slotted spoon and place on paper towel lined wire rack for 1 minute. Immediately dip hot donuts in glaze on both sides and place on wire rack.
  • Repeat the frying and glazing process for the rest of the donuts and donut holes. Serve immediately.

Notes

Storage instructions: Donuts are best served immediately or same day.
