To make the donuts you will need 1-2 canisters of biscuits and enough oil to fill a pot so the donuts can float when frying. The amount of oil can vary greatly depending on your pot. I usually use vegetable or canola oil when frying.
Use a small biscuit cutter or the top of small bottle or lid to cut holes in each biscuit. You can discard these or make donutholes from them. Guess which I do… yep, donut holes (you know me!). Fry the donuts in oil that is around 350 F. If you don't have a candy thermometer then you can test your oil by using the donut holes. You want the donut to fry in the oil for 2-3 minutes on each side so that it is cook through but not burnt. As you fry your donuts remove to a plate or tray lined with paper towels to remove excess oil.
Homemade chocolate glaze, makes about 2 1/2 cups. Recipe adapted from here.

I want to make these! The only thing is that I dont know how to form them. Does anyone know?
We made these at camp one year, but we covered them in sugar! so yummy can’t wait to try them with chocolate! 🙂
YUMMY DELICIOUSNESS.
One day I was buying biscuits at the market and a cashier told my sister and I to try making donuts out of the biscuits. Well, we tried it and they were delicious with just sugar on them. I have got to try the glaze, though. It sounds wonderfully tasty. You’re lovely, thank you!
HOLY MOLY GUACAMOLE!! yes, this recipe made me say that 🙂
Being an Aussie, I was confused too! Biscuits to us are cookies to you. Stephanie May, biscuits in America are more like what we would call scones. They are delicious!
Oh my goodness, these look mouthwatering! Doughnust are one thing I have not tried to make yet in the pastry department, I always feel just a tad overwhelmed!
these look soooo so good!

Gah I’ve been wanting to try this! You make it look so easy, I think I need to make these this weekend!
@non-Americans To try and help. The biscuits they are talking about are not cookie type biscuits. The closest thing I would think would exist in other countries would be a scone, but more flakey and savoury.
You can make your own biscuit recipes like this: http://www.joyofbaking.com/Biscuits.html but I don’t think the pre-packaged kind they’re referencing can be found outside of North America. At least I haven’t been able to find them in Australia.
oh to make donuts. it is on my “to try” list. cannot wait to try these.
OMG, these look so good. I grew up making biscuit donuts with my mom and sister. We just added sugar and cinnamon though. I’m going to have to try these out for sure.

I am so going to have to try this recipe! They look beyond delicious!
These are great. As kids, we used to make biscuit donuts with our grandma pretty regularly and would always keep our empty push pop candy tubes for cutting out the middles. Thanks for helping to resurrect that memory.
At the beginning of the summer I tried my hand at making biscuit donuts this way! So awesome and these pictures look SO good!
