Ingredients

  • 1 can Pillsbury flaky honey-flavored biscuits
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • Ground cinnamon to taste
  • 1 cup Vegetable oil for frying, enough to cover the bottom of a shallow frying pan

Instructions

  • Prep Your Ingredients: Start by opening the can of Pillsbury biscuits. Carefully separate the biscuits and lay them out on a flat surface. Using your cookie cutter or bottle cap, cut out a small hole in the center of each biscuit to create the classic donut shape. Don’t toss the holes! These make perfect little donut bites.
  • Heat the Oil: Pour about an inch of vegetable oil into your skillet or frying pan. Heat the oil over medium heat until it reaches 350°F. You can test if the oil is ready by dropping in a small piece of dough—if it sizzles and floats, you're good to go.
  • Fry the Donuts: Carefully place a few donuts in the hot oil, making sure not to overcrowd the pan. Fry for about 1-2 minutes on each side, or until golden brown. Use a slotted spoon to remove the donuts and place them on a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil.
  • Coat with Cinnamon Sugar: While the donuts are still warm, mix the sugar and cinnamon in a shallow dish. Roll each donut in the cinnamon sugar mixture until fully coated. Don’t forget to do the same with the donut holes!
  • Enjoy! Serve the donuts warm, and watch them disappear! These are best enjoyed fresh but can be reheated in the oven for a quick treat later on.
