- Medium saucepan
- Round Cookie Cutter 1-inch

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.

Notes
This recipe will make a classic white donut glaze, but feel free to add in food coloring of your choice or cocoa powder for a chocolate glaze.
