Ingredients
Instructions
- Deep fry the biscuits until they are golden brown.
- Drain and allow to cool slightly.
- Slice the fried biscuits and fill with marshmallow cream.
Tips & Substitutions
For a lighter texture, consider using homemade biscuit dough instead of canned biscuits. You can also experiment with flavored marshmallow cream, such as chocolate or peanut butter, to add a unique twist. Ensure the oil is at the right temperature (around 350°F) for optimal frying. For a fun variation, try adding sprinkles or crushed cookies to the marshmallow filling.
Serving Suggestions
Serve these marshmallow doughnuts warm for the best flavor and texture. They pair beautifully with a cup of coffee or hot chocolate. For a fun dessert platter, consider including Sheila's Sugar Cookies or Cinnamon Loafs for a delightful variety. Dust with powdered sugar or drizzle with chocolate sauce for added indulgence.
Storage & Reheating
Store any leftover filled doughnuts in an airtight container at room temperature for up to two days. If you want to keep them longer, refrigerate for up to a week, but the texture may change. To reheat, place them in a toaster oven for a few minutes to regain some crispiness, avoiding a microwave which can make them soggy.
