Expert Tips

Instead of using a plate, add sugar and salt to a brown paper bag. Add the warm doughnuts to the bag and give them a shake to coat.

Instead of or as well as caramel dip, serve doughnut holes with warm chocolate fudge sauce.

The top of an old tube style lipstick makes the perfect doughnut holes. These have always been a shared thing with my girls and now my granddaughters. The sky is the limit as far as toppings. The biscuits have really improved so much over the years......Thanks Pillsbury your products make my life so easy in the kitchen.....

Just made these with the kids, fun to make, but used small shot glass as I didnt have a small enough cookie cutter. Glass worked good, but next time will cut in 4ths, and roll them into balls, as they didn't quite come out in a ball shape and cutting into 4ths would save alot of time. Kids and I thought they were delicious!!

just cut each biscuit into 4ths and proceed as recipe states. No waste and no messing around cutting! Still tastes great.
