    Donuts With Pillsbury Grands Dough

    This semi-homemade donut recipe is one of the best-kept baking secrets of all time. If you didn’t already know that you can make bakery level glazed donuts from a can of Pillsbury Grands biscuit dough, then your life is about to change. (You’re welcome.)

    It is one of the easiest (and most delicious) recipes ever! So, if you’ve been wondering how to make donuts the easy way, you’ll be happy to know that all you need is 5 ingredients and 30 minutes!

    One of the great things about this easy glazed donut recipe is that the options are endless. Don’t get me wrong, original glazed donuts are a classic, but you can easily add any flavor to your glaze to switch things up.

    I like to add maple, coconut or pumpkin spice! Another one of my favorite ways to spice up this easy glazed donut recipe is by skipping the glaze and coating these freshly fried donuts in cinnamon and sugar.

    Why Semi-Homemade Donuts?

Not only does it save you time, but it can also be a lot less overwhelming if you don’t have tons of baking experience. In this case, you can enjoy the fun of making homemade donuts, and you can do it in half the time.

    Equipment

    • Large Sauce Pan/Deep Fryer
    • Medium Sauce Pan
    • Round Cookie Cutter 1-inch
    • Cooling Rack

    Ingredients
      

    FOR THE DONUTS

    • 1 can Pillsbury Grands Big Biscuits
    • 2 cups oil for frying

    FOR THE GLAZE

    • 2 cups powdered sugar sifted
    • ¼ cup whole milk or heavy cream
    • 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract or desired flavoring

    Instructions
     

    • In a deep fryer or large saucepan, heat oil over medium heat to 350°F. 
    • With a small round cookie cutter, cut holes in the center of each biscuit. Place 3-4 biscuits in the heated oil. Let one side cook until golden brown (about 1 minute). Flip over and let the other side cook until golden brown. Remove from oil and place on a cooling rack.
    • In a medium saucepan, heat the milk and vanilla on low heat until warm. Remove from heat and whisk in the powdered sugar until fully combined.
    • Dip the donuts into the glaze and place them back on the cooling rack to set up for 2-3 minutes. When the first layer of glaze has set up, dip the donuts a second time and add desired sprinkles/toppings before serving.
