Ingredients

Peanut oil, for frying
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/4 cup sugar

Icings:

2 cups confectioners' sugar, divided
5 tablespoons milk, divided
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/4 cup cocoa powder
2 cans large buttermilk biscuits
Colored sprinkles
Chocolate sprinkles

Directions

Heat 2 inches peanut oil in a large pot or Dutch oven to 350 degrees F.

In a shallow bowl, stir together the ground cinnamon and sugar and set aside. In a small bowl, whisk together 1 cup of confectioners' sugar, 2 tablespoons of milk and 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract, set aside. This is the vanilla icing. In another bowl, whisk together 1 cup of confectioners' sugar, 1/4 cup of cocoa powder and 3 tablespoons of milk and set aside. This is the chocolate icing.

Lay out the biscuits on a cutting board and with a 1 1/2-inch round cookie or biscuit cutter, cut out a hole from the middle of each biscuit. Fry them in the oil until golden and then flip with tongs to fry the other side. You can even fry the donut holes. Drain on paper towels and then toss in the cinnamon-sugar or ice and decorate with sprinkles, as desired.

Amazing
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

I made these with my grandson's 2 & 5. Super quick & easy. Love the idea of not having to buy frosting. So quick to make... with stuff you already have in the house. These fried up really quick...just seconds before you have to flip them over. Read more

Just ok for me
Rated: 3 stars out of 5

I was really excited to make these, but was disappointed with the outcome. I felt like the donuts tasted very 'biscuity',... which is to be expected I suppose since they were made from biscuits, its just not the taste I was hoping for. Plus I felt like the glazes for the donuts needed something, maybe butter or something, they just tasted like straight sugar. Read more
