Ingredients
Scale
Donut Holes
- 1 can Buttermilk Pillsbury Grands biscuit dough
- 4 cups Vegetable oil (for deep frying)
- 1 cup Granulated sugar
- 1 tablespoon Ground cinnamon
Chocolate Sauce
- 1 cup Semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 1/2 cup Heavy whipping cream
Instructions
- Prepare the Dough: Open the can of buttermilk biscuit dough and separate each biscuit. Cut each biscuit into four equal pieces and roll each piece into small balls with your hands to form the donut holes.
- Heat the Oil: In a large heavy pot, pour vegetable oil to about one inch deep. Heat the oil until it reaches 350°F (175°C), the ideal temperature for frying the dough balls until golden.
- Fry the Dough Balls: Carefully drop a few dough balls into the hot oil. Fry them for 2-3 minutes or until they turn golden brown on all sides, turning as needed to cook evenly.
- Drain the Donut Holes: Use a slotted spoon to scoop the fried dough balls out of the oil. Place them on a plate lined with paper towels to drain excess oil and keep them crispy.
- Coat in Cinnamon Sugar: In a bowl, mix the granulated sugar with ground cinnamon. While the donut holes are still warm, roll them in the cinnamon sugar mixture to evenly coat.
- Make the Chocolate Sauce: In a microwave-safe bowl, combine the semi-sweet chocolate chips and heavy whipping cream. Microwave in short intervals, stirring in between, until the chocolate is fully melted and the sauce is smooth.
- Serve and Enjoy: Arrange the warm cinnamon sugar-coated donut holes on a serving plate and serve with the warm chocolate dipping sauce for a delicious and fun treat.
Notes
- Ensure the oil temperature stays at 350°F to avoid greasy donut holes.
- Do not overcrowd the pot when frying to maintain the oil temperature.
- You can substitute the chocolate sauce with caramel or fruit dips if preferred.
- Serve immediately for best texture and flavor.
- Leftover donut holes can be reheated in a toaster oven to restore some crispiness.
