Ingredients
Scale
Donut Holes
- 1 can buttermilk Pillsbury Grands biscuit dough (8 biscuits)
- Vegetable oil for deep frying (enough for 1-inch depth)
- 1/3 cup granulated sugar
- 1 tablespoon ground cinnamon
Chocolate Dipping Sauce
- 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
- ½ cup heavy whipping cream
Instructions
- Prepare Dough Balls: Open the biscuit dough package and cut each biscuit into 4 equal pieces. Roll each piece into a smooth ball to form the donut holes.
- Heat Oil: In a large heavy pot, heat vegetable oil to 1-inch depth over medium-high heat. Bring the oil temperature to 350 degrees Fahrenheit, suitable for deep frying.
- Fry Donut Holes: Carefully drop a few dough balls into the hot oil, avoiding overcrowding. Fry them for about 2 to 3 minutes, turning to cook evenly until they turn golden brown on all sides.
- Drain and Cool: Remove the fried donut holes with a slotted spoon and place them on a cooling rack or paper towels to drain excess oil and cool slightly.
- Sugar Coating: In a shallow bowl or plate, mix granulated sugar and ground cinnamon. Roll each donut hole in this cinnamon sugar mixture until fully coated.
- Make Chocolate Sauce: Combine semi-sweet chocolate chips and heavy whipping cream in a microwave-safe bowl. Microwave on high for 30 to 45 seconds until the chocolate melts completely. Stir well until smooth and creamy.
- Serve: Serve the cinnamon sugar-coated donut holes warm alongside the chocolate dipping sauce for a delicious treat.
Notes
- Use a thermometer to maintain the oil temperature at 350°F for perfect frying results.
- Do not overcrowd the pot while frying; cook donut holes in small batches for even cooking.
- For a lighter option, try using half-and-half instead of heavy cream in the chocolate sauce.
- Store leftover donut holes in an airtight container and reheat briefly in the oven to retain crispiness.
- You can substitute cinnamon sugar with powdered sugar or a glaze if preferred.
