Simple Doughnuts Made from Biscuit Dough
These simple doughnuts that are made with biscuit dough are easy to make and taste so good.
These biscuit dough doughnuts hit the spot for breakfast, dessert or a sweet snack.
And they’re very simple to make.
There are 2 topping options in this recipe.
One is powdered sugar, and the other is a mixture of cinnamon and sugar.
My favorite topping is the cinnamon-sugar mixture.
But the powdered sugar topping is good too.
About Serving
They definitely taste best right after making them while they’re warm.
Serve these doughnuts with a glass of milk.
And just before each bite, dip the cinnamon and sugar doughnuts in milk.
I’m pretty sure you’ll be glad you did.
These scrumptious doughnuts tend to disappear quick.
So, you may want to get an extra can of biscuits or two.
Let’s check out the ingredients.
Premade biscuit dough (homestyle biscuit dough in a tube), canola oil, sugar, cinnamon, and powdered sugar
HOW TO MAKE THIS RECIPE
A printable recipe with the measurements and instructions is located at the bottom of this post.
For the Dough:
Remove the biscuits from the container and place them on a plate until they’re at room temperature (about 5 to 8 minutes).
This will make them more pliable for making a hole in the middle of the biscuit.
In each biscuit, make a hole in the middle by pushing your finger through.
Shape the biscuit into a circular ring and set aside.
For the Toppings:
In a small bowl, add granulated sugar and cinnamon.
The bowl should be a bit larger than the size of one of the doughnut rings.
Mix together and set aside.
In a separate small bowl, add the powdered sugar and set aside.
For Frying:
In a large skillet add canola oil.
The oil should be a little more than about ½ inch deep in the frying pan.
Heat the pan on medium heat.
To the pan, add 4 doughnut rings.
It’s a good idea not to add all 10 doughnut rings in the oil at the same time because they need to be coated with the toppings right after cooking so that the toppings will stick.
With 10 doughnuts, the toppings may not be added fast enough to stick.
When the bottom side of the doughnuts turn a golden color, using a pair of tongs, turn them over.
When both sides of the doughnuts are a golden color, turn the heat off the pan to an unused burner on the stove.
Carefully transfer each doughnut into a topping.
Cover both sides of the entire doughnut with as much of the sugar-cinnamon mixture as possible.
For variety, some of the doughnuts can be coated with powdered sugar.
For the remaining dough rings, repeat the process.
Serve:
Serve warm.

- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 2-1/2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
- 1/2 cup powdered sugar
Instructions
- For the Dough - Remove the biscuits from the container and place them on a plate until they're at room temperature (about 5 to 8 minutes). This will make them more pliable for making the hole in the middle of the biscuit.
- Make a hole in the middle of each doughnut by pushing your finger through. Shape the biscuit into a circular ring. Set aside.
- For the Doughnut Toppings - In a small bowl, add sugar and cinnamon. Mix together. The bowl should be a bit larger than the size of one of the doughnut rings. Set aside.
- In separate small bowl, add powdered sugar and set aside.
- Cooking the Doughnuts - In a large skillet add canola oil. The oil should be a little more than about 1/2 inch deep in the frying pan.
- Heat the pan on medium heat. To the pan, add 4 doughnut rings.
- It’s a good idea not to add all 10 doughnut rings in the oil at the same time because they need to be coated with the toppings right after cooking so that the toppings will stick. With 10 doughnuts the coating can't be added fast enough to stick.
- When the bottom of the doughnuts turn a golden color, using a pair of tongs, turn them over.
- When both sides of the doughnuts are a golden color, remove them quickly from the pan; turn the heat off of the pan and move the pan to an unused burner while coating the doughnuts...and put them into the cinnamon-sugar mixture.
- Cover the entire doughnut (both sides) with as much of the cinnamon sugar mixture as possible.
