Easy Mouthwatering Biscuit Donuts
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! 😉
Easy Mouthwatering Biscuit Donuts
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 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 biscuit donut holes.
Step 5: Once oil has reached 375 degrees, begin frying your 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 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 biscuit donut holes in cinnamon sugar mixture, coating well.
Step 9: Enjoy your delicious and easy biscuit donuts with your family or friends!

These look absolutely delicious.
My sister learned how to make these in school. She used to make them a plenty when we were younger. I’d love to revisit this tried and true recipe.
Thank-you! Yes they are so delicious! I can’t believe I hadn’t ever tried them until now 🙂
Ohmy, looks incredible! It is a pity that such beauty without the fryer does not cook 🙂
Thank-you! haha I agree- the deep fryer makes everything look/taste good 🙂
OMG these looks heavenly! I think I just gained weight by looking at those delights! 🙂
Thank-you! haha I tried to limit myself to one so I wouldn’t feel super guilty 🙂
Oh my!!! Mouth watering indeed! These look delicious! I need to get a deep fryer.
Thank-you! Yes, we don’t use ours a ton, but it is definitely nice to have when we make homemade treats like these. 🙂
I remember these as a kid. Always good and a treat.
I can’t believe I had never tried them until now! They are so good 🙂
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!
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.
Holy goodness I live in the South and viscut and donut in the same sentence is heaven !!! Definitely trying these.
Haha, I agree! Hope you enjoy them!
Oh my goodness, these look delicious!
Thanks, girl! They are 🙂

You got my sentiments over there. Though I am not a fan of cinnamon but except for that I am going to make these doughnuts. My family will love them.
You could definitely switch up the flavors to suit your family’s taste preferences! The glazed ones are delicious 🙂
Well that is indeed the perfect name as these look mouthwatering and finger licking good!!!! Oh I wish I had one..,,or two!! Happy Monday gorgeous!!
They are so good, and so easy to make too! Hope you’re having a great day 🙂
We do the cinnamon sugar biscuit doughnuts at our house and they’re so good. I’m not a fan of glazed doughnuts.
The cinnamon sugar is delicious! That’s what’s so nice about this is you can make them whatever flavor you want 🙂
Omg these look soo good! I’m addicted to donuts it’s a problem. I literally go to Dunkin every time I pass one…
Thanks! Haha I’m a doughnut lover too!
Good lord these look incredible. I don’t have a deep fryer for a reason. LOL

You’re killing me with the temptation here!!!! It looks so delicious.
My dad used to make deep fried donuts when I was growing up – such a fun memory.

Oh my gosh!!! Are you trying to fatten me up?! Looks amazing!
Haha, thanks!
AHH! This look SO good, my mouth is literally watering! Too bad I have celiac disease so I can’t eat gluten bc I want these! Unfortunelty I haven’t found a gluten free version of biscuits 🙁 But these seriously look amazing!

Ahh, so sorry! Pillsbury seriously needs to step up their game and offer a gluten free version! Thank-you, though!
OMG mouthwatering doesn’t even justify this. Definitely makes me want donuts instead of my boring oatmeal!

Mouthwatering is right! My goodness those look delicious. How does the texture turn out? Biscuity or like a doughnut?
I’m now contemplating buying a deep fryer!
Thank-you! Surprisingly enough they have a doughnut texture- it’s crazy. I thought the same thing before making them, that they were going to taste like sweet biscuits but they were really good! 🙂
I love biscuit donuts! My great Aunt would make them all the time when we would visit her in Kentucky and it was one of my fondest memories of being there. Ha! They are to die for!
Oh how neat! They are very delicious, I agree!
