BISCUIT DONUTS WITH CHOCOLATE GLAZE
DONUTS!!!!!!!! It's exciting. I adore donuts, they are such a fun breakfast treat. But they can be a little difficult and time consuming to make from scratch. An easy alternative is biscuit donuts. What are biscuit donuts, you ask? Well... uh... they're, like, donuts made from store-bought biscuits. Here's how to make your own biscuit donuts with homemade chocolate glaze.
To make the donuts you will need 1-2 canisters of biscuits and enough oil to fill a pot so the donuts can float when frying. The amount of oil can vary greatly depending on your pot. I usually use vegetable or canola oil when frying.
Use a small biscuit cutter or the top of small bottle or lid to cut holes in each biscuit. You can discard these or make donutholes from them. Guess which I do... yep, donut holes (you know me!). Fry the donuts in oil that is around 350 F. If you don't have a candy thermometer then you can test your oil by using the donut holes. You want the donut to fry in the oil for 2-3 minutes on each side so that it is cook through but not burnt. As you fry your donuts remove to a plate or tray lined with paper towels to remove excess oil.
Homemade chocolate glaze, makes about 2 1/2 cups. Recipe adapted from here.
