Instructions
1
Place a cooling rack over a baking tray and set aside.
2
Place your frying oil in a dutch oven over medium heat. Use a candy thermometer to ensure you bring the oil to 350F.
3
Cut out the center of each biscuit and then stretch the biscuit a bit to make the hole and biscuit donut wider – approximately by 1/2″.
4
Once oil is hot, fry each donut individually for about 1 minute per side, until golden brown.
5
Set each fried donut on the cooling rack to allow excess oil to drip off.
6
Once all donuts have been fried, turn off the heat for the oil.
7
Sift the powdered sugar and cocoa powder into a large bowl. Whisk together.
8
Whisk in the milk, vanilla extract and salt.
9
Dip each donut into the chocolate glaze, then place back on the cooling rack until glaze is set, about 30 minutes.

Tips & Tricks (5)
- Oil Temperature Mastery 🌡️Heat your oil to exactly 350°F before frying—use a thermometer to ensure consistent results and prevent greasy donuts or burnt exteriors.
- Smooth Glaze Consistency 🍫Mix your chocolate glaze to a pourable consistency by warming it slightly, then dip donuts quickly for an even, thin coating that sets beautifully.
- Chill Dough Before Cutting ❄️Refrigerate your biscuit dough for 15-20 minutes before cutting into donut shapes to prevent spreading and achieve clean, defined holes.
- Vanilla Extract Enhancement 🎯Add an extra ½ teaspoon of vanilla extract directly to your chocolate glaze for depth and complexity that elevates the flavor profile significantly.
- Powdered Sugar Coating Timing ✨Dust warm donuts with powdered sugar while still hot to create a delicate, adhesive coating that won't fall off as they cool.
