Equipment

  • large saucepot or pot
  • small bowl

Ingredients

  • 16 ounces can buttermilk Pillsbury Grands biscuit dough 8 biscuits
  • Vegetable oil for deep frying
  • cup granulated sugar
  • 1 tablespoon ground cinnamon

Chocolate Dipping Sauce:

  • 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
  • ½ cup heavy whipping cream

Instructions

  • Open the package of biscuit dough and cut each biscuit into 4 equal pieces. Roll each piece into a ball.
  • Heat a large heavy pot over medium-high heat and add vegetable oil to 1-inch depth. Heat the oil to 350F.
  • Drop a few dough balls into the oil and fry until golden brown on all sides, about 2-3 minutes. Remove the donut holes from the oil and place on a cooling rack or paper towels to drain off excess oil and cool slightly. Repeat this process with the remaining dough balls, frying in small batches until all are cooked.
  • On a plate or in a shallow bowl, combine the granulated sugar and cinnamon. Roll the donut holes in the sugar mixture.
  • To make the chocolate dipping sauce, combine the semi-sweet chocolate chips and heavy whipping cream in a microwave safe bowl. Microwave on high for 30-45 seconds until the chocolate is fully melted. Stir the mixture until smooth.
