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. Most of the recipes are taken from HERE!
Needed: 1/2 cup butter, 1/4 cup whole milk, 2 tablespoons light
corn syrup, 1 teaspoon vanilla extract, 3 1/2 ounces dark chocolate and 1
1/2 cups powdered sugar.
In
a small pot over medium heat combine the butter and milk. Stir until
melted, then add the corn syrup, vanilla extract and chopped dark
chocolate. Stir until completely melted then remove from heat. Whisk in
powdered sugar 1/2 cup at a time. Dunk donuts in glaze, add sprinkles if
you must.
Enjoy these with coffee or milk and impress your family with these super easy donuts!
