Eleanor's Easy Sugared Donuts
If you are craving a warm and delicious donut, but you don't have time for making a big production out of it, you must try these! You will be amazed at how easy and scrumptious they are.
Equipment
- Deep fat fryer (optional)
Ingredients
- 2 quarts canola oil or other neutral oil with a high smoke point
- 1 can Pillsbury Grands Buttermilk Biscuit dough 10 oz
- 1 cup granulated sugar
Instructions
- In a large pot or deep fryer, heat the oil to 350°F. Place the sugar in a shallow bowl or dish.
- Separate the biscuits and lay them flat on a work surface. Cut a circle out of each center, using a round cookie cutter, so the biscuits look like donuts. (Using the top of a bottle also works to create the donut holes.)
- Carefully transfer the donuts, working in batches if needed, to the hot oil and fry them until they are golden brown on each side. Transfer the fried donuts to a wire rack placed over a sheet pan to drain. While the donuts are still hot, coat them in the sugar on both sides and serve.
