Sugared Pillsbury Biscuits (Cheater Donuts)

Sugared Pillsbury Biscuits, also called Cheater Donuts, are simple fried dough rounds made from store-bought biscuit dough. When deep-fried until golden brown and dusted with sugar, they resemble classic donuts with a crisp outside and soft inside. This quick method creates a sweet fried treat using easy-to-find ingredients and minimal preparation.

Description

The recipe uses pre-made buttermilk biscuit dough cut from the tube, which is heated in neutral cooking oil until golden on both sides. This frying process puffs the dough, cooking it through and creating a slightly crisp exterior. Immediately after frying, the hot biscuits are sprinkled with sugar, giving a sweet coating like traditional donuts.

These homemade cheater donuts have a tender, slightly airy interior from the biscuit dough, paired with a sugary crust from the dusting. The result is a fast and accessible fried dough dessert or snack without the need for yeast rising or complex dough-making steps.

Serving them fresh and hot is best to enjoy the contrasting textures and fully melted butter flavor inherent in the biscuit dough.
