Biscuit Doughnut Holes
These Biscuit Doughnut Holes are quick and irresistibly delicious - they're so easy to make, as they use canned biscuits!
Equipment
- deep pot/dutch oven
Ingredients
- 1 can refrigerated biscuit dough 8 large biscuits
- ½ c. granulated sugar
- 1 tsp. ground cinnamon
- Vegetable oil for frying
- 1 c. powdered sugar
- 2-3 tbsp. milk or water
- ½ tsp. vanilla extract
Instructions
- In a deep fryer or large, heavy-bottomed pot, heat about 2 inches of vegetable oil to 350°F.
- While the oil is heating, open the can of biscuit dough and separate the biscuits. Cut each biscuit into quarters, rolling each quarter into a ball to form doughnut holes.
- In a small bowl, mix together the granulated sugar and cinnamon. Set aside.
- Once the oil is hot, carefully drop a few doughnut holes into the oil, being careful not to overcrowd the pot. Fry the doughnut holes in batches, turning them occasionally with a slotted spoon, until they are golden brown and cooked through, about 2-3 minutes.
- Using a slotted spoon, remove the doughnut holes from the oil and place them on a paper towel-lined plate to drain any excess oil.
- While the doughnut holes are still warm, roll them in the cinnamon-sugar mixture until fully coated.
- To make the glaze, whisk together the powdered sugar, milk (or water), and vanilla extract (if using) in a small bowl until smooth.
- Dip the tops of each doughnut hole into the glaze, allowing the excess to drip off. Place the glazed doughnut holes on a wire rack to set.
- Serve immediately and enjoy!
Notes
- Keep a close eye on the oil temperature using a kitchen thermometer. Maintaining a consistent 350°F ensures the doughnut holes cook evenly and don’t absorb too much oil.
- Fry the doughnut holes in small batches to avoid lowering the oil temperature and ensure they cook evenly.
- Roll the doughnut holes in the cinnamon-sugar mixture while they’re still warm so the coating sticks better.
- If the glaze is too thick, add a little more milk or water, one teaspoon at a time, until it reaches your desired consistency. For a thicker glaze, reduce the liquid slightly.
- These doughnut holes are best enjoyed fresh and warm, so serve them right away for the best texture and flavor.
