Ingredients for Homemade Glazed Donuts

Homemade Glazed Donuts Instructions

1. Prepare the Donuts

Start by opening the can of biscuits and laying them out on a clean surface. Use a cupcake corer, small round cutter, or even the cap of a water bottle to cut out the centers of each biscuit. Save those centers — they make delicious little donut holes!

2. Heat the Oil

In a large, deep skillet or heavy pot, heat the cooking oil over medium heat. You want the oil to be hot but not smoking — about 350°F if you’re using a thermometer. A quick test: drop a small piece of dough into the oil. If it sizzles immediately, the oil is ready.

3. Fry the Donuts

Carefully place a few donuts into the hot oil, being cautious not to overcrowd the pan. Fry each side for about 1–2 minutes, flipping once golden brown. Remove the donuts with a slotted spoon and set them on a paper towel-lined plate to drain any extra oil. Repeat until all the donuts (and donut holes!) are fried.

4. Make the Colorful Glaze

Scoop some cake frosting into a microwave-safe bowl. Add a few drops of neon food coloring and stir. Microwave the frosting for about 10–15 seconds until it reaches a thin, pourable consistency.

5. Dip and Decorate

Dip the top of each donut into the colorful glaze. While the glaze is still wet, generously cover with sprinkles. Let the glaze set for a few minutes before serving.
