Ingredients
- 1 can of buttermilk or flaky layers canned biscuits
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1 tablespoon ground cinnamon (optional)
- 2 cups vegetable oil (or other high smoke point oil for frying)
- 2 tablespoons melted butter (optional, for coating)
Instructions
- Open the can of biscuits and separate them. Use a small cutter to create donut holes in the center of each biscuit. Save the centers for mini donuts.
- Heat the oil in a deep skillet or heavy-bottomed pot to 350°F (175°C).
- Carefully place a few donuts in the hot oil, being careful not to overcrowd the pan. Fry for 1-2 minutes per side or until golden brown. Fry the donut holes as well, reducing cooking time to 30-45 seconds per side.
- Remove the donuts from the oil and drain on paper towels or a wire rack.
- While still warm, roll the donuts in granulated sugar or a cinnamon-sugar mixture until fully coated. For an extra rich finish, brush with melted butter before coating.
- Serve immediately and enjoy!
