The Easiest Jelly Donut Recipe Ever | The Nosher

Step 1

Heat around 3 inches of oil in a large, deep pan over medium-high heat (oil should be 350 degrees F). To see if the oil is hot enough, use a thermometer or place wooden skewer into the oil. If small bubbles appear, it's ready for frying.

Step 2

Remove biscuits from the can. To make small donuts, cut into rounds using a soda cap or other small circular device. Or, you can fry the biscuits as is.

Step 3

Drop the small donuts in 5-6 at a time; for full biscuits, 2-3 at a time. Fry for 1-2 minutes on each side, until just golden brown.

Step 4

Using a spider or slotted spoon, remove from oil and place on a wire rack. Allow to cool completely.

Step 5

Stick a wooden skewer into one side of each donut and create space inside by wiggling it around gently.

Step 6

Fill a piping bag with your filling of choice and gently insert into the hole. Gently squeeze filling into each donut.

Step 7

Dust with powdered sugar.
