Easy As Can Be Better Than Krispy Kreme Sugar Glazed Doughtnuts

FeelinYummy's Note:

I've seen several recipes using the same method, but none that were glazed quite like these. I personally think the glaze is the best part. Try them and let me know what you think.

• Total Time: 30 mins
• Prep Time: 20 mins
• Cook Time: 10 mins

Ingredients:

Serves: 8

Yield: 16.0 donuts ...

• 1 (11 ½ ounce) package refrigerated biscuits (plain store brand, do not use jumbo, flaky, buttered, etc.)
• vegetable oil (for fryer)
• ¼ cup whole milk
• 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
• 2 cups confectioners' sugar

Directions:

1. Separate the buscuits and lay them on a cutting board.
2. Press the cap of a water bottle all the way through each buscuit, creating a donut hole.
3. Separate the holes and set them along the side of the donuts.
4. Let them sit for fifteen minutes to allow them to come to room temperature.
5. Meanwhile, preheat the deep fryer to 350 degrees.
6. Make the glaze while the biscuits are resting and the fryer is preheating
7. For the glaze:.
8. Combine the milk and vanilla in a small sauce pan and heat over a gentle, low heat.
9. Sift the confectioner's sugar into the mixture a little at a time and stir to combine.
10. Heat until a smooth glaze is formed, stirring constantly.
11. Remove the pan from the heat and place it into a larger bowl or pan filled with hot water (to keep the glaze warm and prevent it from hardening).
12. Working in batches, fry the donuts in the oil until golden brown on both sides (I use metal tongs to turn them).
13. Drain on paper towels or a cooling grate.
14. When cool enough to handle, dip the donuts into the glaze and set them on wax paper
15. Serve.
