CINNAMON DOUGHNUTS



Cinnamon Doughnuts image

Provided by Food Network

Yield 10 servings

Number Of Ingredients 4

1 can store-bought biscuits
1 cup sugar
1/2 cup cinnamon
2 cups vegetable oil

Steps:

  • Heat vegetable oil in a saucepan to 375 degrees F. Open up the can of biscuits, separate them from one another. With a one-inch round cutter, cut a hole into the center of each biscuit. Add biscuits and holes into the oil a couple at a time. When they turn golden brown, remove, drain on paper towels and roll into cinnamon and sugar mixture. For the cinnamon and sugar mixture, simply combine the two on in a bowl or lipped plate.

Tips:

  • To achieve the perfect donut texture, activate the yeast properly by dissolving it in warm milk and letting it sit for 5-10 minutes until it becomes foamy.
  • For evenly cooked and fluffy donuts, ensure the oil temperature is between 350°F (175°C) and 375°F (190°C).
  • To prevent the donuts from absorbing too much oil, fry them in small batches and avoid overcrowding the pan.
  • To create a smooth and flavorful glaze, whisk together powdered sugar, milk, vanilla extract, and a pinch of salt until a thick but pourable consistency is achieved.
  • For an extra burst of flavor and texture, sprinkle the donuts with cinnamon sugar while they are still warm. Alternatively, roll the donuts in cinnamon sugar before frying for a crispy, caramelized coating.

Conclusion:

Indulge in the irresistible delight of homemade cinnamon donuts with these delectable recipes. Whether you prefer a classic yeast-raised donut, a quick and easy baked donut, or a unique air fryer donut, these recipes offer something for every taste and occasion. Elevate your donut experience by experimenting with different glaze flavors, toppings, and fillings.
