15 minute biscuit donuts

I had some rolls of layered Pillsbury grands jr. biscuit dough. These were smaller sized than their typical biscuits. They were perfect for donuts. I used an apple corer, removed the center, fried those up to make donut rolls and of course the donuts. They were crunchy on the outside, warm and fluffy on the inside. so easy, so quick. Cupcakes from a box take longer to make than these. The kids helped even. I got 15 out of 3 packs of biscuit dough. Something about eating them at home really does make you feel less guilty. Going back for seconds and dare I say ..3rds, yeah... not so innocent any more!

3 packs of of layered Pillsbury grands jr. biscuits dough rolls. $3.75 (they were around $1.25 ea.)
3 cups oil to fry with*

glaze for donuts:
1 c. powder sugar for glaze*
2 tbsp milk*
1/4 tsp vanilla extract*

Chocolate topped donut:
1/2 c. semi chocolate morsels $0.75
2 tbsp shortening*
1 tbsp sprinkles $0.25

powder sugar topping:
1/4 c. powder sugar*

Heat your oil up to 375. Open biscuit dough rolls. Remove biscuits and place on wax paper. Take out the center of the biscuit with the apple corer.
Set aside the centers of dough, as you will fry these too. They make great donut rolls. Once oil is at the right heat, add 4 donuts at a time. fry 1-2 mts each side. flipping half way through and once golden brown. Remove from oil, and place on cooling rack. Continue to cook up the rest including the holes.
Once all the donuts are done frying, turn off the oil and make the glaze and toppings. For the glaze. in a small bowl, microwave the milk for 35 seconds. whisk in the vanilla and powder sugar. Dip the donuts in to coat the tops. wait 5 mts and dip again. Now make the chocolate topping. Microwave the shortening for about 35 seconds, add the chocolate morsels, mix and microwave 25 seconds, mix and microwave another 25 seconds. Mix well, then dip the tops of the donuts into the chocolate. Add sprinkles on top if you wish. For the powder sugar topping, just empty the powder sugar onto a plate and roll the donut around in the sugar until well coated. Enjoy!

so 3 steps:
remove centers and fry
make glaze and chocolate topping
dip donuts and add sprinkles.
