Homemade Glazed Donuts

Warning:  this one is dangerous!  We all have our weaknesses. Mine happens to be Krispy Kreme glazed donuts and you can imagine how dangerous this could be if you knew how easy they were to make at home! Oh My Goodness.  If you make them once, you will make them over and over again!  This is a keeper my friends! 

Homemade Donuts! 

1 can Pillsbury Grands Homestyle Butter Tastin’ biscuits. 

Vegetable oil for frying (32 oz)

2 tablespoons butter

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

2 teaspoons hot water or use whole milk

2 cups powdered sugar

In a heavy-bottomed skillet with high sides, or in a large Dutch oven, heat the oil on medium heat. When a water droplet dropped into the oil sizzles, the oil is ready.

Unwrap the package of biscuits and separate them. Gently press down on the biscuits to very lightly flatten and cut out the center with a small biscuit cutter, a shot glass or something similar; set the donut holes aside. 

Fry 4 donuts at a time in the hot oil, about 2 minutes per side. Once they are a light golden color, flip and fry the remaining side for about 2 more minutes or until lightly golden. Watch closely, because they tend to brown very quickly.

Drain the donuts onto a paper towel-lined plate or a cooling rack. Continue frying the donuts and donut holes in batches.

Meanwhile, in a small saucepan, combine the butter, vanilla, hot water and powdered sugar until melted and smooth. Mixture should be somewhat thin. If necessary, add more water.  

Dip the tops of the freshly fried donuts into the glaze mixture and pull up; place the glazed donuts glazed-side up onto a wire rack.  The glaze will drip down to the bottom of the donut, almost completely coating it.
