Ingredients
Scale
Donut Holes
- 1 can buttermilk Pillsbury Grands biscuit dough (8 biscuits)
- Vegetable oil for deep frying (enough for 1-inch depth in pot)
- 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 the dough balls: Open the package of biscuit dough and cut each biscuit into 4 equal pieces. Roll each piece into a ball shape to form the donut holes.
- Heat the oil: In a large heavy pot, pour vegetable oil to a depth of 1 inch and heat it over medium-high heat to 350°F (175°C), suitable for deep frying.
- Fry the donut holes: Carefully drop a few dough balls into the hot oil and fry them, turning occasionally, until they are golden brown on all sides, which takes about 2 to 3 minutes per batch. 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.
- Coat with cinnamon sugar: In a shallow bowl or plate, combine the granulated sugar and ground cinnamon. Roll the slightly cooled donut holes in this sugar mixture until evenly coated.
- Make the chocolate dipping sauce: In a microwave-safe bowl, combine the semi-sweet chocolate chips and heavy whipping cream. Microwave on high for 30 to 45 seconds until the chocolate is melted. Stir well until smooth and creamy.
- Serve: Serve the warm donut holes alongside the chocolate dipping sauce for a delightful treat.
Notes
- Use a thermometer to maintain the oil temperature at 350°F for perfectly cooked donut holes.
- Roll the dough balls tightly to avoid them falling apart during frying.
- For variation, try different coatings such as powdered sugar or a drizzle of glaze instead of cinnamon sugar.
- If you prefer a thicker chocolate sauce, reduce the cream slightly or melt the chocolate more slowly to avoid overheating.
- Serve immediately for the best texture and flavor as they are most delicious when fresh.
