Instructions

Place a cooling rack over a baking tray and set aside.

Place your frying oil in a dutch oven over medium heat. Use a candy thermometer to ensure you bring the oil to 350F.

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″.

Once oil is hot, fry each donut individually for about 1 minute per side, until golden brown.

Set each fried donut on the cooling rack to allow excess oil to drip off.

Once all donuts have been fried, turn off the heat for the oil.

Sift the powdered sugar and cocoa powder into a large bowl. Whisk together.

Whisk in the milk, vanilla extract and salt.

Dip each donut into the chocolate glaze, then place back on the cooling rack until glaze is set, about 30 minutes.

Tips & Tricks (5)

Biscuit Dough Temperature 🌡️
Keep biscuit dough slightly chilled but pliable for easier cutting and cleaner donut shapes. Cold dough prevents spreading during frying.
Glaze Consistency Hack 🍫
Warm your chocolate glaze slightly and use a whisk to eliminate lumps, creating a smooth, glossy coating that adheres perfectly to the donuts.
Oil Temperature Precision 🍳
Maintain oil at exactly 350°F for golden-brown donuts that are crispy outside and tender inside. Use a thermometer to ensure consistent results.
Donut Cutting Technique ✂️
Use a sharp round cookie cutter or a clean, empty can to punch perfect donut shapes with clean edges. Dip the cutter in flour to prevent sticking.
Glaze Cooling Trick 🧊
Let donuts cool for 2-3 minutes after frying before glazing to prevent the chocolate from sliding off and ensure a thick, even coating.
