Donuts are a classic treat that many people enjoy, but making them at home can seem intimidating. However, with this delicious homemade donut recipe, you can easily whip up a batch of biscuit-style donuts that are sure to impress your friends and family.
The key to these delicious homemade donuts is using biscuit dough as the base. This makes the process much simpler than traditional donut recipes that require yeast and rising time. With this recipe, you can have fresh, hot donuts on the table in no time.
To start, you will need a can of refrigerated biscuit dough. Simply open the can and separate the individual biscuits. Use a small round cookie cutter or the lid of a spice jar to cut a hole in the center of each biscuit. This will give your donuts that classic donut shape.
Next, heat some vegetable oil in a large, deep skillet over medium-high heat. You want the oil to be around 350 degrees Fahrenheit, so it’s hot enough to fry the donuts but not so hot that they burn. You can test the temperature by dropping a small piece of dough into the oil. If it starts to sizzle and brown, the oil is ready.
Carefully place the donuts in the hot oil, making sure not to overcrowd the skillet. Cook the donuts for about 1-2 minutes on each side, or until they are golden brown and cooked through. Use a slotted spoon to remove the donuts from the oil and place them on a paper towel-lined plate to drain.
Once the donuts are cool enough to handle, you can get creative with the toppings. You can dip them in a simple glaze made with powdered sugar, milk, and vanilla extract, or roll them in cinnamon sugar for a classic treat. You could also drizzle them with melted chocolate or caramel for an extra indulgent touch.
No matter how you choose to top them, these homemade biscuit-style donuts are sure to be a hit. They are best enjoyed fresh and warm, so be sure to make a batch when you have friends or family over. They will love the delicious, homemade flavor and you’ll love how easy they are to make. So next time you’re craving a sweet treat, consider making these delicious homemade donuts. You won’t be disappointed!
