5 Ingredient Cinnamon Sugar Donut Recipe
Ingredients:
1 can (16.3 oz) refrigerated biscuit dough
1 cup vegetable oil for frying
1/2 cup granulated sugar
2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
1/4 cup unsalted butter, melted
Instructions:
1. In a small bowl, mix the granulated sugar and cinnamon. Set aside.
2. Heat the vegetable oil in a large, deep skillet or Dutch oven over medium heat until it reaches 350°F (175°C).
3. While the oil is heating, separate the biscuit dough into individual biscuits. Using a small round cookie cutter or the cap of a bottle, cut out the centers of each biscuit to form donut shapes.
4. Carefully place 2-3 donuts into the hot oil and fry for about 1-2 minutes on each side or until golden brown.
5. Remove the donuts from the oil using a slotted spoon and place them on a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil.
6. Brush each warm donut with melted butter, then immediately roll in the cinnamon-sugar mixture until well coated.
7. Repeat the process with the remaining dough, including the donut holes.
8. Serve warm and enjoy!
Notes:
- Store leftover donuts in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days
- For a twist, try adding a pinch of nutmeg or cardamom to the cinnamon-sugar mixture
- These donuts can also be baked at 350°F (175°C) for 10-12 minutes for a healthier option
- Add sprinkles, icing, and other sweet or savory toppings as desired
