Ingredients
Instructions
- Step 1
Place a cooling rack over a baking tray and set aside.
- Step 2
Place your frying oil in a dutch oven over medium heat. Use a candy thermometer to ensure you bring the oil to 350F.
- Step 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″.
- Step 4
Once oil is hot, fry each donut individually for about 1 minute per side, until golden brown.
- Step 5
Set each fried donut on the cooling rack to allow excess oil to drip off.
- Step 6
Once all donuts have been fried, turn off the heat for the oil.
- Step 7
Sift the powdered sugar into a large bowl.
- Step 8
Whisk in the lemon juice and most of the zest from 1 lemon.
- Step 9
Dip each donut into the lemon glaze, then place back on the cooling rack.
- Step 10
If desired, garnish with additional lemon zest.
- Step 11
Allow to sit until glaze is set, about 30 minutes.
