Ingredients
Instructions

- Knead the mixture about 10 times.
- Roll out the dough.
- Cut into doughnut shapes.
- Fry in hot oil until golden brown.
- Glaze, frost, or roll in powdered sugar as desired.
Tips & Substitutions
For a lighter doughnut, consider using buttermilk instead of regular milk for a tangy flavor. You can also substitute half of the sugar with honey for a different sweetness. Ensure the oil is hot enough before frying to prevent greasy doughnuts; around 350°F is ideal. If you want a fun twist, add chocolate chips or chopped nuts to the dough.
Serving Suggestions
Serve these quick doughnuts warm, dusted with powdered sugar or glazed with your favorite frosting. They pair wonderfully with a cup of coffee or tea for breakfast or brunch. For a delightful dessert, try serving with a scoop of vanilla ice cream, or enjoy them alongside Nana'S Best Veggie Dip for a savory-sweet combination.
Storage & Reheating
Store leftover doughnuts in an airtight container at room temperature for up to two days. For longer storage, freeze them in a single layer on a baking sheet, then transfer to a freezer bag for up to a month. Reheat in an oven at 350°F for about 5-10 minutes to regain their crispiness.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I bake these doughnuts instead of frying them?
Yes, you can bake these doughnuts! Preheat your oven to 350°F and place the cut doughnut shapes on a greased baking sheet. Bake for about 10-12 minutes or until golden brown. They may not be as crispy as fried versions but will still be delicious and healthier.
What can I use if I don’t have Bisquick?
If you don’t have Bisquick, you can make your own by combining 2 cups of all-purpose flour, 2 1/2 tsp baking powder, 1 tsp salt, and 2 tbsp of shortening. This mixture will work well in place of Bisquick for your doughnuts.
How can I customize the flavor of these doughnuts?
You can customize the flavor by adding different extracts such as almond or lemon instead of vanilla. Spices like cardamom or allspice can also be added for a unique twist. For a chocolate version, incorporate cocoa powder into the dough and top with chocolate glaze.
