Ingredients
Instructions
- Mix 1 part milk with 8 parts powdered sugar to make the glaze.
- Use a hole punch or finger to make a hole in each biscuit.
- Deep fry the biscuits until they are golden brown and cooked through.
- Dip the fried donuts into the glaze and serve.
Tips & Substitutions
To achieve the perfect glaze, ensure your powdered sugar is sifted before mixing with milk to avoid lumps. If you don’t have milk, water or a dairy-free alternative can work well too. For a twist, add a splash of vanilla extract or almond extract to the glaze for extra flavor. Experimenting with different toppings like sprinkles or crushed nuts can also elevate these donuts, reminiscent of Old Fashion Do-Nuts.
Serving Suggestions
These Fry Daddy Donuts are best enjoyed warm and can be served as a delightful breakfast treat or a sweet snack. Pair them with coffee or hot chocolate for a cozy combination. For a fun twist, serve alongside fresh fruit or a scoop of ice cream, making it a perfect dessert. They also pair beautifully with Blackberry Pinwheel Cobbler for a delightful dessert spread.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use homemade biscuit dough instead of canned?
Absolutely! Homemade biscuit dough can enhance the flavor and texture of your donuts. Just ensure the dough is rolled out to the right thickness for frying. Keep an eye on them as they may cook faster than store-bought biscuits.
What oil is best for frying these donuts?
For frying, use oils with a high smoke point like vegetable, canola, or peanut oil. These oils will ensure your donuts fry evenly and develop a golden-brown color without burning.
Can I make these donuts ahead of time?
While it's best to enjoy them fresh, you can prepare the donuts ahead by frying them and storing them without glaze. Just reheat and glaze them right before serving to maintain their freshness and texture.
