Servings 8
Equipment
- Medium shallow bowl
- Small round cookie cutter (about 1-1.5 inches)
- Medium skillet
- Tray lined with paper towels
Ingredients
- 1.5 tablespoons ground cinnamon
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1 8-count can jumbo refrigerated biscuits (Grands, or similar)
- Vegetable oil for frying
- Icing or sprinkles, optional
Instructions
For the donuts
- In a medium shallow bowl, mix the cinnamon and sugar; set aside.
- Use a small round cookie cutter to make holes in the center of each biscuit.
- Pour vegetable oil in a medium skillet, until about ½-inch deep.
- Heat the oil on medium-high heat for about 5 minutes, so it’s hot enough to instantly cook the donuts upon hitting the skillet (about 300oF on a food thermometer). This prevents them from soaking up too much oil and becoming soggy.
- Fry the donuts and donut holes in batches of 2-3 at a time, making sure to not overcrowd the pan. Fry only about 1 minute on each side, flipping them carefully with a fork.
- Remove them to a tray lined with paper towels to soak up extra oil.
- When all donuts and donut holes are fried, carefully dip them in the cinnamon sugar mixture. Or, if desired, decorate donuts with icing and sprinkles.
