Description

These Canned Biscuit Glazed Doughnuts are a quick and easy homemade treat made from refrigerated biscuit dough fried to golden perfection and coated with a smooth vanilla sugar glaze. Perfect for a sweet breakfast or snack, they offer a simple way to enjoy classic doughnuts without the fuss of traditional dough-making.

Ingredients

Doughnuts:

  • 1 can (16 oz) refrigerated biscuit dough (8 biscuits)
  • Vegetable oil, for frying (2-3 inches in a deep skillet or saucepan)

Glaze:

  • 1 cup powdered sugar
  • 2 tablespoons milk (or more for desired consistency)
  • 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract

Instructions

  1. Heat the oil: Heat 2-3 inches of vegetable oil in a deep skillet or saucepan over medium heat until the oil reaches 350°F (175°C). This temperature is ideal for frying the doughnuts to a crisp golden brown.
  2. Prepare doughnuts: Open the can of biscuits and separate them. Use a small round cutter, such as a bottle cap, to punch holes in the center of each biscuit, creating classic doughnut shapes. Save the cut-out centers to fry as doughnut holes.
  3. Fry the doughnuts: Carefully place the biscuit doughnuts in the hot oil in batches. Fry each side for 1-2 minutes, or until they turn golden brown. Use a slotted spoon to transfer the cooked doughnuts to a plate lined with paper towels to drain excess oil. Fry the doughnut holes similarly for 30-60 seconds per side until golden.
  4. Make the glaze: In a mixing bowl, whisk together powdered sugar, milk, and vanilla extract until smooth. Adjust the milk amount to reach your preferred glaze consistency—thicker for coating, thinner for drizzling.
  5. Glaze the doughnuts: Dip the warm doughnuts and doughnut holes fully into the glaze, allowing any excess to drip off. Place them on a wire rack to set the glaze.
  6. Serve: Enjoy immediately to experience the best flavor and texture of freshly fried glazed doughnuts.

Notes

  • Use a candy or deep-fry thermometer to monitor the oil temperature accurately for optimal frying results.
  • Do not overcrowd the pan while frying to maintain oil temperature and even cooking.
  • The doughnut holes cook faster than the larger doughnuts; keep a close eye to avoid burning.
  • Variations can include adding cinnamon to the glaze or sprinkling colored sugar or sprinkles on the glazed doughnuts.
  • Leftover glazed doughnuts are best eaten within a day for freshness.
