Time 30m

Yield 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 7

Ingredients

8 cups canola oil, for frying
4 tablespoons granulated sugar
1 tablespoon cinnamon
½ teaspoon kosher salt
½ teaspoon ground szechuan peppercorn
all purpose flour, for dusting
1 can can of biscuit dough

Steps:

Fill a large pot with 2 inches (5 cm) of canola oil. Heat over medium-high heat until the oil reaches 350°F (180°C).
In a medium bowl, mix together the sugar, cinnamon, salt, and ground Szechuan peppercorns. Set aside.
On a lightly floured surface, use a rolling pin to roll out the biscuits to ¼-inch (6 mm) thick. Using a 2-inch (5 cm) round cutter, punch a mini donut hole out of each biscuit. Discard the remaining dough or save for another use.
Working in batches, add the donut holes to the hot oil and fry for 3 minutes on one side, until golden brown. Flip and cook on the other side for 1-2 minutes more, until cooked through and golden brown all over. Use a wire skimmer to transfer the donut holes to a wire rack set over a baking sheet. Let drain for a minute, then transfer the warm donuts to the sugar mixture and toss well to coat.
Enjoy!

Tips:

Active Dry Yeast: Ensure the yeast is fresh and active. To test, combine the yeast, sugar, and warm water in a small bowl, let it sit for 10 minutes. If it becomes foamy, the yeast is active and good to use.
Perfect Dough: When kneading the dough, work until it becomes smooth and elastic. A well-kneaded dough will lead to soft and fluffy doughnuts.
Dough Rising: Allow the dough enough time to rise in a warm place until it doubles in size. This ensures the doughnuts are light and airy.
Cutting Doughnuts: When cutting the doughnuts, use a sharp doughnut cutter or a glass with a lightly floured rim. This will prevent the dough from sticking and help maintain a smooth circular shape.
Frying Doughnuts: Heat the oil to the correct temperature (350°F/175°C) before frying. Use a deep fryer or a heavy-bottomed pot with high sides to avoid splattering oil.
Glazing Doughnuts: Prepare the glaze while the doughnuts are frying. This allows the glaze to cool slightly, making it easier to handle and coat the doughnuts evenly.
Storing Doughnuts: Store leftover doughnuts in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days. For longer storage, freeze the doughnuts in an airtight container for up to 2 months.
