1 snack-size container (3.25 oz) vanilla pudding
2 tablespoons caramel sauce
1/4 teaspoon kosher (coarse) salt

1 (8 ounce) can Pillsbury Refrigerated Crescent Dinner Rolls
1 snack-size container vanilla pudding (4 oz)
2 tablespoons caramel sauce
1/4 teaspoon kosher salt (coarse)
1/2 cup powdered sugar
milk
additional caramel sauce, if desired

Steps:

  • In deep fryer or 2-quart heavy saucepan, heat oil over medium heat to 325°F
  • Separate crescent dough into 4 rectangles. Firmly press perforations to seal. Stack 2 rectangles on top of one another. Fold in half widthwise to make tall stack. Repeat with remaining 2 rectangles.
  • To make 2 doughnuts, use 3-inch biscuit cutter to cut 1 round from each stack; use 1/2-inch biscuit cutter to cut small hole in center of each round. Reroll remaining dough to cut third doughnut.
  • Fry doughnuts in hot oil 2 1/2 minutes on each side or until deep golden brown and cooked through. Drain on paper towels. Cool 5 minutes.
  • Carefully split doughnuts in half. Place pudding in decorating bag fitted with tip, and pipe half of the pudding onto bottom half of each doughnut.
  • Top each with some of the caramel sauce; sprinkle with salt. Cover each with top of doughnut. In small bowl, mix powdered sugar and enough milk for spreading consistency. Spread on tops of doughnuts. Drizzle with additional caramel sauce.

Tips:

  • For a richer flavor, use salted butter in place of unsalted butter.
  • If you don't have a rolling pin, you can use a wine bottle or even a glass to roll out the dough.
  • Be sure to cut the dough into even-sized pieces so that they cook evenly.
  • Don't overcrowd the pan when frying the doughnuts. Cook them in batches if necessary.
  • Fry the doughnuts until they are golden brown and cooked through. This will take about 2-3 minutes per side.
  • Drain the doughnuts on paper towels to remove any excess oil.
  • While the doughnuts are still warm, roll them in the cinnamon sugar mixture.
  • Serve the doughnuts immediately or store them in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days.
