Making donuts at home can feel hard. This Easy Canned Biscuit Donuts Recipe makes it simple and fun. You need basic items and little time.
Ingredients
- 1 can refrigerated biscuit dough
- 2 cups vegetable oil for frying
- ½ cup granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- ½ teaspoon vanilla extract optional
Instructions
Prepare the Biscuits
- Open the biscuit can carefully. Separate each biscuit gently. Use a cutter to remove centers, making donut shapes.
Heat the Oil
- Pour oil into a deep pan. Heat on medium until hot but not smoking.
Test the Oil
- Drop a small dough piece into oil. It should bubble and rise slowly.
Fry the Donuts
- Place donuts into hot oil carefully. Fry for one to two minutes per side.
Flip Carefully
- Use tongs to flip donuts. Cook until both sides turn golden brown.
Remove and Drain
- Lift donuts with a slotted spoon. Place on paper towels to drain excess oil.
Mix Sugar and Cinnamon
- In a bowl, mix sugar and cinnamon well. This makes the coating sweet and tasty.
Coat the Donuts
- Roll warm donuts in sugar mix. Cover all sides evenly for best flavor.
Serve Warm
- Serve donuts warm. Enjoy soft texture and sweet coating right away.
Notes
- Do not overheat oil. Hot oil burns donuts fast.
- Fry in small batches. This keeps oil temperature steady.
- Use fresh biscuits for best texture.
- Coat donuts while warm for better sugar sticking.
- Add powdered sugar instead of cinnamon sugar if desired.
