1 MINUTE FRIED DOUGH

This takes about 1 minute from start to finish. No lie. Especially if you only fill the pan with 2 inches of oil, then it is heated up quickly. These are saltier than the average donut, so if you are going for a donut taste, add a lot of sugary glaze and toppings.


Ingredients: Yield: 8 servings
1 Can Refrigerated Biscuit Dough
3 - 5 Cups Oil for frying
Cinnamon and Brown Sugar for dusting

1. Heat up the oil in pot with deep sides to prevent getting burnt by oil. Just make sure you have the pan filled up with 2 inches of oil Don't let the oil get so hot that it is smoking. You will actually see the water get a little bit wavy when it is hot, and you can only test a small piece of dough to see if it starts floating and cooking. Once the oil is hot, keep the burner temperature at medium.

2. While the oil is heating up, open the can of biscuit dough. Use your finger to poke a hole in the middle of each biscuit so it resembles a donut.


3. Gently lay the "donuts" in the oil. They should start floating and the oil should be bubbling around them. If not, the oil is not heated up yet.

You will see the holes and edges turn brown within 15 to 30 seconds. Flip them as soon as you see this happening. In another 10-15 seconds they will be done!




Allow the "donuts" to drain on papertowels and dust with cinnamon and sugar, your favorite glaze, chocolate, honey butter, or whatever you fancy! Best served warm.
