Mouthwatering Canned Biscuit Donuts {So Easy}
Hey Everyone! Today I couldn’t be more excited to share this simple and delicious biscuit donut recipe with you! I’ve been wanting to try the whole biscuit donut concept FOREVER, but simply had never gotten around to it. That is, until yesterday.
I was sitting on the couch with my husband and as we were talking about things we want to try making, somehow biscuit donuts got brought up. And you guys, I love me some donuts. So just like that, I finally took the plunge and let me tell ya- my Monday morning definitely got better.
These biscuit donuts are so good! I mean, I know in general pretty much anything deep fried tastes good, but these donuts legit taste just as good if not better than the real thing. Plus you won’t believe how easy these are to make!
If you’ve ever wondered how to make donuts from biscuits in a can, then keep reading and add this to your to-do list ASAP. You won’t regret it! 😉

Step 1: Begin warming oil in a deep fryer to 375 degrees Fahrenheit. I use this one by T-fal, and I love it! It makes frying things so easy and there’s no messy clean-up!
Step 2: Using a small round cookie cutter, cut out the center of each canned biscuit to form your donuts. The round shapes you cut out will be used for your donut holes.
Step 3: In a microwavable bowl, begin making the biscuit donuts glaze by warming 2 tbsp butter until melted. I prefer using my tried and true Pyrex bowls, because I can mix, microwave, and throw it in the dishwasher afterwards.
Add in sugar, vanilla, and milk, stirring well until you have reached the desired smooth consistency. Set aside.
Step 4: In a small bowl combine the sugar and cinnamon you will use to coat the canned biscuit donut holes.
Step 5: Once oil has reached 375 degrees, begin frying your canned biscuit donuts in the oil two at a time, 1 minute per side. Repeat until all large biscuit donuts have been fried. Once completed, add in all the biscuit donut holes at once and fry for 1 minute total, turning halfway through.
Step 6: Place fried biscuit donuts on paper towel or cooling rack with a pan underneath to drain any excess oil.
Step 7: Place large canned biscuit donuts into glazed icing one at a time, coating both sides well. Using a tong, carefully place donut on cooling rack. Repeat until all donuts have been glazed.
Step 8: Toss the small canned biscuit donut holes in cinnamon sugar mixture, coating well.
Step 9: Enjoy your delicious and easy canned biscuit donuts with your family or friends!

You’re right, these DO look mouthwatering! I’d forgotten that I made biscuit donuts years ago, but I was a deep frying novice and I think that’s why they were only mediocre. Looks like it’s time to give it another try!
Kindly Unspoken says
Thank-you! Yes, you should. 🙂 Just be sure and keep an eye on them, they cook pretty quickly and it’s easy to overcook them if you’re not careful.
