Ingredients
- For the Donuts:
- 4 cups vegetable oil (for frying)
- 1 (16 oz) can flaky jumbo biscuits
- For the Glaze:
- 1 1/2 cups powdered sugar
- 2 tsp vanilla extract
- 3 tbsp whole milk
Instructions
- Heat the oil: Add vegetable oil to a heavy-bottom pot, ensuring there is at least 2 inches of oil covering the bottom. Heat the oil over medium-high heat until it reaches 350°F.
- Prepare the glaze: In a small bowl, stir together the powdered sugar, vanilla extract, and milk until smooth. Set aside.
- Prepare the donut holes: Open the can of biscuits and use scissors to cut each biscuit into 6 pieces. Roll each piece in your hands to form round balls.
- Fry the donut holes: Carefully place a few donut holes at a time into the hot oil using a slotted spoon. Do not overcrowd the pot, as this will cause the oil to drop in temperature. Fry for a few minutes until golden brown.
- Drain and cool: Remove the donut holes from the oil and place them on a baking sheet lined with paper towels to drain. Let them cool slightly.
- Glaze the donut holes: Use a fork or tongs to dip and swirl each donut hole into the glaze. Allow the excess glaze to drip off before placing them on a wire rack to set.
- Serve and enjoy: Serve the donut holes warm, fresh from the fryer, and enjoy the sweet, sticky glaze!
Notes
- Storage: Store leftover donut holes in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days.
- Reheating: Reheat in the microwave for 10-15 seconds or in the oven for a few minutes to restore warmth and freshness.
- Variations:
- Flavored Glaze: Add a pinch of cinnamon or nutmeg to the glaze for extra flavor.
- Sugar Coating: Instead of glaze, roll the donut holes in a mixture of cinnamon and sugar for a classic coating.
- Stuffed Donut Holes: Add a small spoonful of jam or Nutella to the center of each biscuit piece before frying for a filled donut hole.
