Description

Biscuit Dough Donut Holes are a quick, easy, and delicious treat made with refrigerated biscuit dough. They are crispy on the outside, soft on the inside, and coated with cinnamon sugar, making them the perfect snack or dessert.


Ingredients

  1. 1 can (16 oz) of refrigerated biscuit dough
    Vegetable oil (for frying)
    1/2 cup of granulated sugar
    1 teaspoon of ground cinnamon
    Optional: powdered sugar or chocolate glaze for coating

Instructions

Prepare the donut holes: Open the can of biscuit dough and separate the biscuits. Use a small round cutter or your fingers to punch a hole in the center of each biscuit, creating a donut hole shape. You can also simply pinch off small pieces of dough to create smaller donut holes.

  1. Heat the oil: In a large pot or deep skillet, heat about 2-3 inches of vegetable oil over medium-high heat. Use a thermometer to check the temperature, aiming for 350°F (175°C). If you don’t have a thermometer, drop a small piece of dough into the oil—if it sizzles and rises to the surface quickly, the oil is ready.
  2. Fry the donut holes: Carefully lower the donut holes into the hot oil, a few at a time, to avoid overcrowding. Fry for about 2-3 minutes, turning them occasionally until they are golden brown and crispy. Use a slotted spoon to remove them from the oil and place them on a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil.
  3. Coat with cinnamon sugar: While the donut holes are still warm, mix the granulated sugar and cinnamon in a shallow bowl. Roll each donut hole in the cinnamon sugar mixture until fully coated.
  4. Serve and enjoy: Serve your Biscuit Dough Donut Holes warm, either on their own or with a side of chocolate glaze or powdered sugar for extra sweetness.

Notes

  • For a chocolatey version, dip the donut holes in melted chocolate and allow them to set for a crunchy outer layer.
  • To make healthier donut holes, consider baking them at 350°F for 8-10 minutes instead of frying.
  • Feel free to fill the donut holes with your favorite fillings like jam, custard, or chocolate for an indulgent twist.
