Ingredients Method

Ingredients
  

  • 1/2 cup White Sugar 100g
  • 2 Tablespoons Cinnamon 16g
  • 1 can Pre-made Biscuit Dough

Method
 

  1. Mix cinnamon sugar:

    In a small bowl, mix together the sugar and cinnamon. Put aside.

  2. Prepare paper towels:

    Prepare a plate lined with paper towels and set it aside. Also have a second plate or serving tray ready for the finished donut holes coated in cinnamon sugar.

  3. Heat frying oil:

    Pour frying oil into a Dutch oven and heat over medium heat. Use a candy thermometer to heat the oil to 350°F (175°C).

  4. Cut biscuit dough:

    Use a small round cookie cutter to cut each biscuit, then form the leftover dough into balls of similar size.

  5. Fry donut holes:

    When the oil is ready, fry the donut holes in batches of 5 or 6 for about 1 minute per side, until they turn golden brown.

  6. Coat in cinnamon sugar:

    Place the fried donut holes on the paper towel-lined plate for about a minute. While still warm, move them to the bowl with the cinnamon sugar and toss to coat evenly. Transfer them to a separate plate.

  7. Turn off heat:

    After all donut holes are fried, turn off the heat under the oil.
