You will need help from an adult for frying the donuts!

Servings: 16-20 servings
Prep Time: 30 min
Cook Time: 2 min
Difficulty: Easy

Ingredients Add to grocery list

Peanut oil, for frying
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/4 cup cocoa powder
5 tablespoon milk, divided
2 cup confectioners’ sugar, divided
Chocolate sprinkles
Colored sprinkles
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/4 cup sugar
2   cans large buttermilk biscuits

Directions

Heat 2-inches peanut oil in a large pot or dutch oven to 350 degrees F.

In a shallow bowl, stir together the sugar and ground cinnamon, set aside. In a small bowl, whisk together 1 cup of confectioners’ sugar, 2 tablespoons of milk and 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract, set aside. This is the vanilla icing. In another bowl, whisk together 1 cup of confectioners’ sugar, 1/4 cup of cocoa powder and 3 tablespoons of milk, set aside. This is the chocolate icing.

Lay out the biscuits on a cutting board and with a 1-1/2-inch round cookie or biscuit cutter, cut out a hole from the middle of each biscuit. Fry them in the oil until golden and then flip with tongs to fry the other side. You can even fry the donut holes. Drain on paper towels and then toss in the cinnamon-sugar or glaze and sprinkle as desired.

My grandmother used to make these for me when I was little. I made these for my 3-year-old grandson today, and he said, "Gram, these are the best!".
