What’s the Project? You’re going to love this easy donut recipe! Only 3 ingredients needed to make these homemade donuts and they taste amazing!
Raise your hand (and ok, jump around and scream and yell a little too) if you are ready for Fall!? I just LOVE Fall, but I think the feeling is pretty mutual right? I don’t think I am alone in this. I mean, I love summer too. A lot. So I am glad it is followed up by something as wonderful as Fall. If we could just cut January and February right out of the calendar…
But anyway. I know what you love about Fall. Other than the leaves and the cooler temperatures and that feeling in the air and the warm clothes and the pumpkins… You love the food, don’t you? Me too. Fall kicks in and I bake. Nonstop. Until January hits. Today I am sharing a super easy donut recipe. Two or three ingredients is about all you need to make these beauties!

And there are three different flavors of these homemade donuts, each as easy to make as the last:
One of my family’s favorite traditions is to make homemade donuts each Fall. These easy donuts are amazingly simple and they taste equally amazing. I promise.
You can cover them with cinnamon sugar, powdered sugar or chocolate frosting. I can’t even decide which is my favorite. I love all three.
Homemade Easy Donut Recipe {from Biscuits}:
Ingredients:
- 1 package of biscuit dough (like the Pillsbury kind-just get the regular kind, not anything fancy)
- Cinnamon sugar, powdered sugar and/or chocolate frosting
- Vegetable oil
Open the biscuit package (that’s my least favorite part-those things are freaky!), and poke a hole in the center of each of your biscuits:
Heat your oil over medium heat until it is hot. Place the donuts in the oil:
And let them cook, flipping them after a few seconds. You want to make sure that the oil isn’t so hot that they cook on the outside really fast or you will have doughy centers. So make the heat hot enough to cook them, but they should take a minute or two to cook fully.
Drain them on paper towel.
While they are still warm, top them. If you are using cinnamon sugar or powdered sugar, just put that in a big Ziploc bag and shake them around (this is the fun part for kids to help with). For the frosting just use a knife to spread it:
And that’s it! So easy and I promise, they taste so great!
This is a great tradition in my family. One of my favorites. You’re going to be surprised at just how good these little guys taste.

Can I make homemade biscuits?

What a comfort recipe! Thank you
Wow. I am going to post this link on a food allergy support group … so many of us practically kill ourselves looking for egg free, peanut and tree nut free donuts … so many of our kids have NEVER EATEN A DONUT!
My daughter is going to be in absolute heaven when I make them next week for the last day of school.
Awesome!
My mom use to make us donuts from canned biscuits when I was a kid in the 50’s. She would roll out the biscuit and then twist it before dropping them in the pan to deep fry. When they were done she would roll them in cinnamon and sugar mixture. This was the poor mans donut. We never knew what a donut from a bakery was.
Seems easy enough and simple and I may add a cheap fun and tasty treat I just have to try with the grandbabies
We don’t have ready make biscuit mix in the UK – are there alternatives? Or a biscuit mix recipe? These look great though!
I don’t know! Sorry!
