EQUIPMENT
- deep frying pan, deep fryer or dutch oven
- slotted spoon or spider scoop
- paper towel
- butter knife
- piping bag with filling tip (I used Wilton tip 230)
- fine mesh sieve
INGREDIENTS
- canola or vegetable oil for frying
- 2 (8 oz) cans refrigerated biscuits 20 total
- ½ cup seedless raspberry jam
- ⅓ cup powdered sugar
INSTRUCTIONS
- Add enough oil to the frying pan, dutch oven, or deep fryer so that it is 2 inches deep. If using a deep fryer, set it to 350°F. If using a frying pan or dutch oven, heat the oil on medium-high heat until it reaches temperature. The oil is ready if you flick a little water into it and it boils immediately.canola or vegetable oil
- Working in batches, add 5 of the biscuits into the oil and fry for about 4 to 5 mins per side. You don't want to fry more than 5 at a time because it can bring the temperature of the oil down and prevent them from cooking properly. Once browned, remove from the oil with a slotted spoon or spider scoop and place on a wire rack lined with paper towels to cool.2 (8 oz) cans refrigerated biscuits
- While the donuts are cooling, transfer the jam to a piping bag fitted with a piping tip.½ cup seedless raspberry jam
- Once they have cooled for about 10 minutes, use a butter knife to cut a hole into the side of the donut. Pipe the jam until it starts seeping out of the hole. You will see the doughnut expand as you add the jam.
- Lightly dust with powdered sugar through a fine mesh sieve and enjoy immediately.⅓ cup powdered sugar
NOTES
- Maintaining the temperature of the oil is important. If the oil is too cool, the donuts will be very oily. If the oil is too hot, the outside will overcook before the inside of the donut is done.
- The piping tip isn’t necessary. The donuts are small enough that this could be done by just snipping a hole in the piping bag. However, the tip makes the job a lot cleaner with less waste.
- The filling can be your favorite jam or jelly or even Bavarian cream, vanilla, or chocolate pudding.
- These are best eaten the day they are made. Don’t make them more than one day in advance and don't sprinkle them with powdered sugar until it is time to serve them. Store leftovers in an airtight container.
