An Easy Way To Make Donut Holes

The family loves donuts. And when the family loves something, I have to learn how to make ‘em instead of buying boxes from Krispy Kreme or at the grocery stores. I haven’t really dedicated myself in learning how to make the donuts like how the latter stores make it. As a matter of fact, I just accidentally came upon the easiest way to make donuts one day. Mini Donuts or Donut Holes (however you call it) to be exact. When I told the husband and son not to grab another box of donuts a couple of weeks ago because I planned on making some their “really???” reactions were priceless. Talk about a challenge.

INGREDIENTS :

• a tube of buttermilk biscuits
• oil for frying
• sugar
• ground cinnamon

Heat up oil in a deep pan.Combine 1/4 cup of sugar and 2 tbsp of ground cinnamon in a bowl. Set aside. In another bowl, add 1/4 cup of sugar and set aside as well.

 

Pop the tube of biscuits. Cut 1 biscuit in 4 quarters. Roll each quarter to form a ball.

 

 

Fry up the donut holes in the hot oil until golden brown. About 6-8 minutes or so. You’ll probably have to do this in batches. Drain the excess oil.

 

Divide the donut holes in half. Add some in the sugar and cinnamon mixture, cover the container, then shake shake shake. Do the same thing with the other half using the sugar mixture.

 

 

You can use powdered sugar too if you want. I ran out because I made cupcakes for my son’s school days prior. But yes, that’s an option too.

 

I actually got this idea from watching Cooking for Real on Food TV. I made this from memory so my version is a little modified. The host added orange zest in her sugar & cinnamon mixture.

 

These donut holes are better if served immediately. If you have leftovers, just warm them up in the microwave for a few seconds before serving again.

 

There you go, I hope you get to make them and enjoy these donut holes/mini donuts with your family. Don’t you just love how easy it is?
