- 1 tube biscuit dough, flaky
- Canola or vegetable oil, for cooking
- 1¼ cups (150g) confectioners' sugar
- ¼ teaspoon vanilla
- 3-6 teaspoons water
Fill a frying pan halfway with oil. Heat over medium heat until the oil reaches 375°F with a candy thermometer.
Make the glaze by combining the sugar, vanilla, and 3 teaspoons of water. Add more water, 1 teaspoon at a time, until a pourable consistency is reached.
Separate the dough into 8 biscuits.
Cut each biscuit into 4 pieces, pinching the edges to keep the dough from spreading (fanning out) during the cooking.
Drop the dough into the hot oil and cook until brown. Flip the donuts with a metal slotted spoon to cook the other side.
Place the cooked dough on a paper towel to absorb the grease, and then drop the donuts into the bowl of glaze and turn to coat evenly.
Place on a wire rack to cool slightly.
Serve warm.
Air Fryer Donut Bites
To make them in the air fryer follow steps 2, 3, and 4 in the directions. Then, spray the air fryer with non-stick spray and then place the dough into the air fryer in a single layer and cook at 350°F for five minutes. Flip the dough over, spray with non-stick spray, and continue air frying for another 5 minutes. Remove and coat with the glaze.
