Snack Biscuit Donuts
Crispy, sweet donut biscuits perfect for a quick snack or dessert, with options for added spices, nuts, or sugar for extra flavor and texture.
Ingredients
Instructions
- Take each biscuit and cut with a donut cutter.
- Heat cooking oil in a deep fryer or large pot until hot.
- Drop donuts and holes into the hot oil and deep fry until golden brown, about 2 or 3 minutes.
- Remove from oil and lay on a paper towel to drain.
- Dust with powdered sugar, and optional ingredients like brown sugar, nutmeg, apple pie spice, or chopped nuts can be added for extra flavor.
Tips & Substitutions
For best results, ensure your oil is at the right temperature (around 350°F) before frying to achieve that perfect golden brown color. If you don't have a donut cutter, use a round cookie cutter and a smaller one for the holes. Substitute powdered sugar with granulated sugar if needed, though the texture will differ. For a twist, consider adding spices like nutmeg or apple pie spice to the dough.
Serving Suggestions
Serve these delightful biscuits warm, dusted generously with powdered sugar. They pair beautifully with a side of fresh fruit or your favorite dipping sauce, such as chocolate or caramel. For a fun twist, consider serving them alongside Sinful French Silk Pie for a sweet dessert spread that guests will love.
Storage & Reheating
Store leftover donuts in an airtight container at room temperature for up to two days. To reheat, place them in a preheated oven at 350°F for about 5-7 minutes, which will help restore their crispiness. Avoid microwaving, as this can make them soggy.
