Ingredients

For the easiest doughnut holes ever, start with Pillsbury® Grands!® biscuits. Cut each one into three circles with a small cookie cutter, and then cook in 350°F vegetable oil until golden brown on all sides. Cool slightly on a wire rack.


Oil for deep frying
1 can (16.3 oz) Pillsbury® Grands!® Flaky Layers or Homestyle refrigerated honey butter biscuits
Dips and Toppings
Hot Fudge sauce

Instructions

Fill bowls with toppings for dipping. Some of our faves: hot fudge, caramel sauce, melted peanut butter, chopped nuts, colored sprinkles, mini chocolate chips, flaked coconut, graham cracker crumbs. Keep hot toppings at temp with a mini slow cooker, a slow cooker with three sections or a fondue pot.


Instead of setting out toothpicks or skewers, which will easily pull out of the doughnuts, add color to the bar with jewel-toned disposable cocktail forks (available at your local party supply store or online at punchbowl.com).


In deep fat fryer or heavy saucepan, heat 2 to 3 inches oil to 350° F.

Separate dough into 8 biscuits; using small round cookie cutter, cut 3 holes out of each biscuit.

Gently place 3 or 4 doughnut holes in hot oil. Fry on one side until golden brown. Gently turn with tongs; fry other side until golden brown. Place on cooling rack; cool 2 to 3 minutes.

To set up the Doughnut Bar, arrange doughnut holes in large serving bowl, dips and toppings in small bowls along with cocktail forks for dipping.

Expert Tips

If you'd rather make doughnuts, just cut a center hole in each biscuit. Then fry both the doughnuts and the holes.

May be a good idea when we use the chocolate fountain!!!!!!!!!
