Pillsbury Doughnut Bites

Everyone loves sugary snacks, especially when they're easy to make!  Doughnuts are deliciously amazing, but they can get complicated, doughnut bites or doughnut holes are easier.  The easiest and fastest way to make them is to not even make your own dough, find something that's just as easy.  This is exactly what this recipe does.

Ingredients

Pillsbury Grands Biscuits

Cooking oil

Sugar

Instructions

1. Pour about an inch and a half to two inches of cooking oil into a medium saucepan.  Put it over medium heat.

2. Cut each biscuit into fourths (I ended up cutting them into eighths).

3. This part isn't necessary, but it always helps to have a good idea of how to organize your cooking area. Have a plate covered with paper towels ready to put the freshly fried doughnut bites on to cool.  Next to that, have a clean, uncovered plate to put the sugar covered doughnut bites on.  Put some sugar in a shallow bowl, I used Tupperware, near the plates.

4. Flick some water into the oil, if it crackles the oil is ready.

5. Just to make sure, make one doughnut bite to check the cooking time and to see if you need to increase or decrease your heat.  It should sizzle from the moment it touches the oil. The doughnut bite should be done in a one to three minutes.  If its ready, add as many doughnut bites as you want to make at once, just make sure it's manageable.  Flip the doughnut bite when it is golden brown.

6. Let the doughnut bite cool for about thirty seconds at the very least. Roll it in sugar then place on the uncovered plate.

The reason I cut the biscuits into eighths rather than fourths is because they were so big that they would cook unevenly and much too quickly to be cooked all the way through.  If you enjoy doughy doughnut bites, then by all means leave it in fourths, but if you're like me and prefer fully cooked ones, then eighths is probably the way to go.

These are simple to make and one package of Pillsbury Grand Biscuits goes a long way, I made about thirty!  They're also really filling, so you don't need many of them.

Happy Holidays and Enjoy!!
