Ingredients:
- 1 Can of Pillsbury Grands Biscuits
- 2 cups Vegetable Cooking Oil
How to cook:
- Heat about 4 inches of oil on medium-high heat in a deep fry pan or deep fryer.
- I use a smaller 4 court pan to preserve oil (the wider your pan, the more oil you will have to use for deep frying)
- Open your can, separate biscuits, and lay them flat on a cutting board.
- Take your shot glass or other tool and press the open end down on the dough to cut out a hole in the center of each biscuit.
- Use cut-out middles to make doughnut holes.
- By the time you get done prepping your biscuits, your oil should be ready.
- To test drop one of the biscuit middles in the hot oil, if it bubbles it is ready for you to fill the oil.
- Do not overfill, you don’t want them to overlap.
- Let them cook for about 1 minute on each side (should be golden brown when you remove them from the oil.

- Add vegetable oil into a heavy bottom pot. You want at least 2 inches of oil covering the bottom of the pot. Heat the oil over medium-high heat until it reaches 350°F.
- Line a baking sheet with paper towels. Set this next to the pot of hot oil.
- Make the glaze. Stir together powdered sugar, vanilla, and milk until smooth. Set this aside.
- Open the can of biscuits and use scissors to cut each biscuit into 6 pieces. Roll the pieces in your hands to make them as round as possible.
- Use a slotted spoon to carefully place a few donut holes at a time into the hot oil. Do not crowd them, as this will cause the oil to drop in temperature. It will only take a few minutes for each to cook.
- Remove the golden donut holes to the baking sheet lined with paper towels. Allow them to cool slightly.
- Use a fork or tongs to dip and swirl each donut, one by one, into the glaze. Allow the excess glaze to drip off before placing them on a wire rack to set.

- Place a wire cooling rack on a baking sheet and set to the side.
- Pour your frying oil in a dutch oven and heat over medium heat. You will need about 3-4" depth of oil. Use a candy thermometer to ensure you bring the oil to 350F.
- Using a round cookie or biscuit cutter, cut out the center of each biscuit. Then gently stretch the biscuit dough until your donut is about 1/2" wider.
- Once the oil is hot, fry each donut for about 1 minute per side, until golden brown.
- Use a strainer to carefully remove each fried donut from the oil and set on the cooling rack so the excess oil drips off.
- Turn off the heat for the oil once all of the donuts have been fried, and allow the donuts to cool down completely.
- While the biscuit donuts are cooling, sift the powdered sugar into a large bowl. Whisk in the milk, vanilla extract and salt.
- Dip each cooled donut into the vanilla glaze, and then place back on the cooling rack. Immediately sprinkle the tops with rainbow sprinkles (optional).
- Allow the biscuit donuts to sit until glaze is set, about 30 minutes.
