  • Total Time: 10 minutes
  • Yield: 24 mini or 8 large

Ingredients

  • 1 package refrigerated biscuit dough
  • vegetable oil, for frying
  • jam, prepared pudding, Nutella or other filling
  • powdered sugar

Instructions

  1. Heat around 3 inches of oil in a large, deep pan over medium-high heat (oil should be 350°F). To see if the oil is hot enough, use a thermometer or place wooden skewer into the oil. If small bubbles appear, it’s ready for frying.
  2. Remove biscuits from the can. To make small donuts, cut into rounds using a soda cap or other small circular device. Or you can fry the biscuits as is.
  3. Drop the small donuts in 5-6 at a time; for full biscuits, 2-3 at a time. Fry for 1-2 minutes on each side, until just golden brown.
  4. Using a spider or slotted spoon, remove from oil and place on a wire rack. Allow to cool completely.
  5. Stick a wooden skewer into one side of each donut and create space inside by wiggling it around gently.
  6. Fill a piping bag with your filling of choice and gently insert into the hole. Gently squeeze filling into each donut.
  7. Dust with powdered sugar.
