2 In 12-inch skillet or 4-quart Dutch oven, heat 2 inches oil over medium-high heat to about 350ºF. Carefully fry biscuits about 30 seconds on each side or until golden brown. With slotted spoon, remove from oil; place on paper towels to cool.
3 In microwavable bowl, microwave frosting on High 15 to 30 seconds. Stir; if frosting is not completely melted, microwave and stir in 10-second increments until smooth.
4 Dip one side of each doughnut into chocolate glaze; sprinkle with candy sprinkles.

Expert Tips

Doughnuts can also be coated with cinnamon-sugar when they come out of the oil. Just give them a shake in a paper bag filled with a little cinnamon and sugar.

You can also fry up the doughnut holes for fun snacks.

Wow, I never new that you could use Pillsbury Dough for Biscuits. This recipe for making homemade doughnuts was fairly simple. So for Christmas morning I made about 16 of them and they came out great. Everyone that was at our home during this wonderful time of year was amaze that their father could make yummy doughnuts, thanks for the recipe. AL

I just made these and they came out delicious! A few things: 1st, they look chocolate cuz they do cook quickly as in the directions, and ya gotta move fast when putting new ones in and taking the done ones out. 2nd, I made 10 and they didn't require a lot of frosting. 3rd, I also found it more economical to sprinkle the toppings on as opposed to dipping them. Have everything out and set up & it will go smooth. My kids are eating them all gone as we speak!

I buy the Pillsbury Frozen buttermilk biscuits that come in a bag. Can I sue these after they have thawed?

To cut out the center of the biscuits, the cap of a 20oz or 2-liter bottle works very well if you don’t have a cookie cutter small enough. Of course, don’t through the centers out! They make excellent doughnut holes! My mother would make these for breakfast when I was growing up the morning after a sleepover with my friends. She would cover the kitchen table with an old newspaper, lay the plain doughnuts out along with several bowls of toppings (cinnamon, powdered sugar, chocolate, etc) and let us create our own. It was messy, but a lot of fun!

The donuts used in the picture of the finished product appear to be chocolate with chocolate icing. How did you manage this? Did you use chocolate crescent dough?
