Easy Canned Biscuit Donuts

Don't let the taste stop you from sharing the recipe with your friends! 🤤

 My boys love these canned biscuit donuts (and, full disclosure, I’ve been known to make them a bit more often than birthdays or summer parties demand). As a plus, it’s an easy recipe and simple to customize; it’ll only take a few minutes to make! A small price for dizzyingly good donuts, right?



Easy Biscuit Donuts Ingredients

  • 1 ten count can Grands biscuits (or your preference)
  • 1 Cup Sugar
  • 1½ Tablespoon cinnamon
  • Peanut (or Vegetable) Oil For Frying

How to Make Canned Biscuit Donuts

  • Mix the cinnamon and sugar in a small bowl and set aside for later.
  • Use a small round cookie cutter to make holes in the center of your frozen biscuit dough. Pro-tip: If you don’t have a cookie cutter, you can substitute this with a jar lid. It’ll look the same and no one will be the wiser!
Cutting the Dough

  • Pour a little less than ½-inch of oil into your skillet.
  • Heat your oil on either medium to medium-high for 5 minutes, so it’s hot enough to instantly sear your biscuit donuts upon hitting the skillet. This prevents them from soaking up too much oil and becoming soggy.
Heating Your Oil
  • Fry your donuts in batches of 2-3 at a time. Each side will only take 1 minute before you need to turn them over.
  • Place them on paper towels when done. After cooling, dip both sides of the donut in your cinnamon-sugar mixture. You can also dip them in melted butter before adding this mixture, if you want, but my family likes them just fine without it!
