Ingredients
Instructions
- Cut holes from the center of each biscuit or cut biscuits into quarters.
- Deep fry the biscuit pieces until they are golden brown.
- Remove from oil and drain excess oil.
- Roll the fried biscuits in powdered sugar or granulated sugar.
Tips & Substitutions
For a lighter version, consider using a non-stick spray instead of oil for frying, or bake the biscuit pieces at 375°F until golden. You can substitute the sugar with cinnamon sugar for a twist. If you want to add flavor, try incorporating vanilla or almond extract into the dough before frying. Ensure the oil is hot enough (around 350°F) to achieve that perfect golden brown color without absorbing too much oil.
Serving Suggestions
Serve these biscuit donuts warm, dusted with your choice of sugar. They pair beautifully with a cup of coffee or a glass of Grandmother'S Punch for a delightful breakfast or snack. You can also serve them with a side of fresh fruit or whipped cream for an indulgent treat.
Storage & Reheating
Store any leftover donut pieces in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days. To reheat, place them in a preheated oven at 350°F for about 5 minutes or until warm. Avoid microwaving as it can make them chewy instead of keeping that desirable crispy texture.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use homemade biscuit dough instead of canned biscuits?
Absolutely! Homemade biscuit dough can add a unique flavor and texture. Use a basic biscuit recipe and follow the same cutting and frying instructions. Just ensure your dough is firm enough to hold its shape when fried.
What kind of oil is best for frying these donuts?
Vegetable oil, canola oil, or peanut oil are great choices for frying as they have high smoke points. Avoid using olive oil as it may impart a strong flavor and has a lower smoke point, which can result in burning.
Can I make these donuts in advance and freeze them?
Yes, you can freeze the fried donuts. Allow them to cool completely, then place them in an airtight container or freezer bag. They can be frozen for up to a month. To enjoy, simply reheat in the oven until warmed through.
