Exact Ingredients List

• 1 can (8-count) jumbo buttermilk biscuits
• 1/2 cup vegetable oil for frying
• 1/2 cup granulated sugar
• 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon

You probably have most of these items in your kitchen already! The star of the show is the canned biscuits – they make this recipe super quick and easy.

For the coating, you’ll mix the sugar and cinnamon together. This sweet and spicy blend gives the donuts their classic flavor.

Don’t forget to grab a small cookie cutter or bottle cap to cut the holes in your biscuits. This turns them into perfect donut shapes.

With just these few simple ingredients, you’ll be on your way to making delicious homemade donuts in no time!

Instructions

Heat about 1/2 inch of vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.

Mix sugar and cinnamon in a shallow bowl.

Open the biscuit can and separate the biscuits. Use a small cookie cutter to make holes in the center of each biscuit.

Once the oil is hot, carefully place 3-4 biscuits in the skillet. Fry until golden brown, about 1 minute per side. Use tongs to flip them.

Fry the donut holes for 40-60 seconds per side.

Remove donuts from oil and quickly coat them in the cinnamon-sugar mix. Do the same for the donut holes.

Place coated donuts on a wire rack to cool slightly before you dig in.

Remember to keep an eye on the oil temperature. If it gets too hot, your donuts might burn on the outside but stay raw inside.

Don’t crowd the pan – this can lower the oil temperature and make your donuts greasy.

Enjoy your homemade canned biscuit donuts while they’re still warm!

For a healthier twist, you can bake the biscuits instead of frying. Just pop them in the oven at 375°F for 14-16 minutes.

Want a different flavor? Add some vanilla or almond extract to your sugar coating mix.

No canned biscuits? No problem! You can use pizza dough or crescent roll dough instead.

For a fun twist, stuff your donuts with jam or cream before frying. Just be careful when biting into them – they’ll be hot!

Feeling fancy? Cut your biscuits into different shapes before frying. Stars, hearts, or squares can make your breakfast extra special.

Remember, these donuts are best eaten fresh. But if you have leftovers, store them in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days.

Tips, Tricks & Storing

Keep your oil temperature between 350°F and 375°F for the best results. Too hot, and your donuts will burn on the outside while staying raw inside. Too cool, and they’ll soak up too much oil.

Don’t overcrowd the pan when frying. This keeps the oil temperature steady and gives your donuts room to float freely.

No cookie cutter? No problem! Use a bottle cap or the rim of a small glass to cut out the donut holes.

Try different toppings! Roll your donuts in powdered sugar, dip them in chocolate glaze, or sprinkle with colorful jimmies for a fun twist.

Store leftover donuts in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days. They’re best eaten fresh, but you can warm them up in the microwave for 10-15 seconds to soften them.

Freeze unglazed donuts for up to 3 months. Thaw at room temperature and add toppings before serving.

For a healthier option, try baking your biscuit donuts in the oven at 350°F for 15-20 minutes, or until golden brown.
