Ingredient List
For the donuts:
  • 1 ½ 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.
