1 Rolling Pin

Ingredients

8 Buttermilk Biscuits ready to bake
Vegetable Oil for frying
2 ¼ Cups Confectioners Sugar
1 Teaspoon Vanilla Extract
5 Tablespoons Milk

Instructions

Gather your Ingredients
Heat the oil to reach 375 degrees F and hold at this temperature.
Mix your glaze up by combining the confectioners’ sugar, milk, and vanilla until smooth.
To form your donut take the biscuits and place on a flat surface light roll the dough to stretch it just a bit bigger- don't flatten it completely
punch a hole in the middle (I use a shot glass).
Make sure to keep the middle to make donut holes!
Place 2-3 donuts in the hot oil at a time (don’t overcrowd the oil) cook for one minute then flip and cook for another minute.
Remove the donut from the oil and let it drain on a wire rack for 1 minute (don’t let donuts cool).
Place donuts into sugar glaze and submerge, then remove, let drip and place back on wire rack to dry and cool.
