Ingredients
Scale
Donuts
- 1 can Pillsbury® Biscuits
- Vegetable Oil (as needed, for frying)
Glaze
- 1 1/2 cups Powdered Confectioners Sugar
- 3 tablespoons Whole Milk
- 1/2 teaspoon Vanilla Extract
Instructions
- Heat the oil: Add enough vegetable oil to coat the bottom of a heavy-bottom pan and heat it over medium-high heat until it reaches 350°F (180°C).
- Prepare the biscuit donuts: Open the can of Pillsbury® Biscuits and place each biscuit on a cutting board. Using a small cookie cutter or similar tool, cut out small holes in the center of each biscuit to form donut shapes.
- Check oil temperature: Test if the oil is hot by frying one of the cut-out donut holes; if it sizzles immediately, the oil is ready for frying.
- Fry the donuts: Carefully add the biscuit donuts to the hot oil and fry for 2 minutes on one side until golden brown. Then flip and fry for another 2 minutes on the other side until cooked through and golden.
- Make the glaze: In a bowl, mix the powdered sugar, whole milk, and vanilla extract together until a smooth glaze forms. Adjust thickness by adding more sugar to thicken or milk to thin as desired.
- Glaze and serve: Dip or drizzle the warm donuts with the vanilla glaze. Optionally, top with chocolate, cinnamon sugar, or other favorite toppings. Serve immediately and enjoy your quick homemade donuts!
Notes
- Ensure the oil is hot enough before frying to avoid greasy donuts.
- Use a heavy-bottomed pan for even heat distribution during frying.
- Customize the glaze with different extracts or add food coloring for fun variations.
- Be cautious when frying to prevent oil splatters and burns.
- Donuts are best enjoyed fresh and warm.
