Biscuit Donuts Recipe

Biscuit Donuts Recipe turns canned biscuit dough into fried donuts with a soft, fluffy texture and a sweet glaze or cinnamon sugar coating. Holes are cut from each biscuit to create a classic donut shape, then fried to a golden brown and finished with a choice of toppings. The recipe provides options for a cinnamon sugar variety or a simple vanilla glaze with sprinkles, offering easy customization with familiar pantry ingredients and quick cooking steps.

Description

The Biscuit Donuts Recipe uses non-flaky canned biscuits as the base, shaped by cutting holes in the centers to create donut rings. These are deep-fried in vegetable oil until golden brown on each side, resulting in a light and airy fried treat that delivers a crisp outside with a tender inside. After frying, the donuts rest briefly on paper towels to absorb excess oil and cool slightly. Two finishing options are provided: a cinnamon sugar coating achieved by dipping in butter then a cinnamon-sugar mix, or a simple glaze made by combining powdered sugar, vanilla extract, and milk, with sprinkles added for decoration. Both toppings enhance the mild biscuit flavor, turning a convenient dough into a satisfying homemade fried donut alternative.

Ingredients

Servings
  • 1 can Biscuits non flaky, Pillsbury brand
  • vegetable oil for frying
  • 1/2 cup powdered sugar
  • 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
  • milk
  • Sprinkles

Instructions

  1. Heat vegetable oil in a large pan on medium heat.
  2. Separate biscuits then with a cookie cutter or something similar, cut a hole in the middle to create your donut.
  3. Test heat by frying up a donut hole. You want it to turn golden brown on both sides and also be cooked all the way through. Continue with the donuts and fry until golden brown (a few minutes on each side).
  4. Let set on a plate with paper towels on it. Let cool a bit and then dip into your favorite topping.
  5. For a cinnamon sugar taste, dip doughnut into butter then into a cinn/sugar mixture (3 TB sugar, 1 tsp. cinnamon)
  6. For a simple glaze taste, mix powdered sugar, vanilla and milk a little at a time to create a frosting and add sprinkles right after dipping.
