Easy Donut Recipe
Quick & easy to prepare and perfect for a fast snack or breakfast on the go.
Ingredients
- 1 (16.3 ounce each) refrigerated biscuits 8 count, NOT the flaky variety
- ¼ cup butter
- ½ cup granulated sugar
- 2 teaspoons cinnamon
- canola oil for frying
Instructions
- Add ½-inch of oil to a medium skillet. Heat to 365℉.
- Use a cookie cutter or sharp knife to cut a hole out of the middle of each biscuit (keep the middle to make mini donut holes).
- Gently lower the biscuit dough into the hot oil, two or three at a time. Fry for 2-3 minutes or until golden, flip, and cook 1 minute more. Set on a paper towel-lined rack to drain. Repeat with the remaining dough.
- Melt butter. In a shallow bowl combine cinnamon and sugar.
- While still warm, brush the donuts with butter and toss in the sugar mixture until fully coated.
Notes
You can also make your own glaze by using Powdered Sugar + Milk the measurements depend on how thick you like your glaze. I have also seen people use melted chocolate icing as well!

I used to make these, but instead of cutting the hole out, I would just stretch them out a bit and poke a hole with my fingers. They taste awesome!
I am super excited to try these out! It couldn’t be easier and has to be much healthier then buying store made donuts. Thank you for sharing. I will be sharing this one with everyone!
this looks super yummy and I have all of this stuff in the kitchen right now!
