Ingredients
Scale
Donuts
- 1 can flaky jumbo biscuit dough (contains 8 biscuits)
- 4 cups vegetable oil (for frying)
Glaze
- 1 1/2 cups powdered sugar
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 3 tablespoons milk
Instructions
- Prepare the Dough: Open the can of flaky jumbo biscuit dough and separate each biscuit. Use your fingers or a small cutter to remove the center hole from each biscuit to form donut shapes.
- Heat the Oil: Pour 4 cups of vegetable oil into a deep skillet or saucepan and heat over medium heat until it reaches 350°F (175°C), suitable for frying.
- Fry the Donuts: Carefully place the donut shapes into the hot oil, frying a few at a time to avoid overcrowding. Fry each side for about 1-2 minutes or until golden brown and puffy. Remove the donuts with a slotted spoon and place them on paper towels to drain excess oil.
- Prepare the Glaze: In a mixing bowl, whisk together 1 1/2 cups powdered sugar, 2 teaspoons vanilla extract, and 3 tablespoons milk until smooth and slightly runny, suitable for glazing.
- Glaze the Donuts: Dip each cooled donut into the vanilla glaze, ensuring an even coating. Place the glazed donuts onto a serving platter arranged in a circular wreath shape. Let the glaze set before serving.
Notes
- Ensure the oil temperature is accurate to avoid greasy or undercooked donuts.
- You can customize the wreath by adding festive sprinkles or edible glitter on the glaze.
- Serve donuts fresh for the best texture and flavor.
- Leftover donuts can be stored in an airtight container for up to 2 days but are best enjoyed fresh.
