Preparation Time:

Cooking Time:
15 minutes
Instructions:
-
Prepare the Oil for Frying:
Start by heating oil in a large pan over medium heat. The oil should be deep enough to submerge the donuts. -
Shape the Donuts:
Open the pack of biscuit dough and place the individual biscuits on a baking tray. Using a cookie cutter or any round cutter, gently press down on the center of each biscuit to create a hole, forming the classic donut shape. -
Fry the Donuts:
Once the oil is hot (test by dropping a small piece of dough into the oil—if it sizzles immediately, it’s ready), carefully place 2 donuts at a time into the hot oil. Allow the donuts to fry for 2-3 minutes, or until one side is golden brown. Flip the donuts using a wooden spoon or tongs to fry the other side. Fry until both sides are golden and crispy. -
Drain Excess Oil:
Once the donuts are cooked, transfer them onto a paper towel to absorb any excess oil. Don’t forget to fry the donut holes as well—they make for an extra crunchy treat! -
Prepare the Glaze:
While the donuts are cooling slightly, make the glaze. In a small bowl, combine the powdered sugar, honey, lukewarm water, and vanilla extract. Whisk together until smooth and fully blended. -
Glaze the Donuts:
Dip each warm donut into the glaze, shaking off any excess. Place the glazed donuts on a wire rack to allow the glaze to set. For an even thicker glaze, repeat the dipping process after the first layer dries. -
Finish and Serve:
Once the glaze has set, sprinkle the donuts with a bit of extra powdered sugar for a sweet finishing touch. Serve these delightful treats immediately, and enjoy the crispy, sweet indulgence.
Serving Suggestions:
These Biscuit Dough Donuts make the perfect snack for a weekend tea break or casual get-together. Pair them with a hot Espresso Coffee and a delicious Scrambled Paneer Sandwich for a delightful treat that everyone will love. These donuts are also fantastic for breakfast or an afternoon snack when you need something quick and delicious to satisfy your sweet cravings.
Tips:
- Frying: Be sure the oil temperature is correct. If it’s too hot, the donuts will burn on the outside before cooking through. If it’s not hot enough, they will absorb too much oil and become greasy.
- Glaze Variations: Feel free to get creative with your glaze! You can add a pinch of cinnamon for a warm, spiced flavor or drizzle melted chocolate for an indulgent touch.
- Storage: While these donuts are best enjoyed fresh, you can store them in an airtight container for up to 2 days. Reheat them for a few seconds in the microwave if desired.
Enjoy these Biscuit Dough Donuts as a simple yet mouthwatering treat that will bring a little magic into your kitchen. Whether it’s a family snack or a special treat for someone you love, these donuts will surely be a hit!
