I am not kidding when I say this was the EASIEST recipe for doughnuts. I have been making doughnuts for a long time and always hate all the work that goes into them. These not only were quick and simple, but they look awesome. I don't think I have ever made a doughnut that actually looks like a doughnut! We loved them!
Quick and Easy Doughnuts
Ingredients:
biscuit dough—ready to use or from scratch
small circle cutter—I used a lid from my water bottle
1/2 cup (or more) cooking oil—vegetable or canola
tongs
paper towels
Directions:
small circle cutter—I used a lid from my water bottle
1/2 cup (or more) cooking oil—vegetable or canola
tongs
paper towels
Directions:
Open the biscuit can and spread all the rolls out. Then using a small circle cutter, press out a donut hole right in the middle.
Then get your pan to medium heat with 1/2 cup oil. Depending on how many you make, you will need more oil. You want enough oil to cover half of the donut when cooking, and so that they can float a little off the bottom. Place 3-4 doughy donuts into the pan and leave until the bottom is golden brown. They cook fast! Then turn them over and cook another minute or so. Using tongs, place the cooked donut on paper towels to drain and cool slightly.
You can then sprinkle with cinnamon and sugar, or make this yummy chocolate glaze.
