Easy Canned Biscuit Donuts!

Jump to the recipe Print version

Did you know that you can turn canned biscuits into Doughnuts?!

This is something I have wanted to make for awhile, considering how EASY they are (I’m ALL ABOUT EASY Recipes) 😉

I will start off by apologizing for what I am about to encourage you to make, but these are just sinfully delicious!

With these below, I did a Cinnamon Sugar coating, but in this post I am ALSO including options for an Original Glaze, Chocolate Glaze or the Cinnamon Sugar!

If someone would have told me these where OUT OF THIS WORLD GOOD, I would have made them much sooner.

They are seriously Melt-in-your-mouth fantastic.

You can use a cookie cutter to make the holes in the centers of each, or any circular object, even a bottle cap for the smaller canned biscuits would work!

You will need to fill your frying pan up 1/2 an inch or so with Vegetable oil until it reaches 350F.

If you don’t have a Cooking Thermometer, you can test out if the oil is hot enough by just dropping in one of the small biscuit centers you cut out.

I always recommend only doing 1 -2 donuts at a time, because they do tend to cook VERY quickly.

I did also use the the cut out biscuit centers too, they were also amazing.

They cook extremely fast being so small, so fry only a couple at a time as well, when doing those!

So easy fresh, hot donuts without much effort at all!

These donuts would be so fun for a weekend breakfast or even a quick dessert! 🙂
