Ingredients
Scale
Donut Holes
- 1 can buttermilk Pillsbury Grands biscuit dough (8 biscuits)
- Vegetable oil for deep frying (about 2 cups to fill 1-inch depth in pot)
- 1/3 cup granulated sugar
- 1 tablespoon ground cinnamon
Chocolate Dipping Sauce
- 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 1/2 cup heavy whipping cream
Instructions
- Prepare the Dough: Open the package of biscuit dough and cut each biscuit into 4 equal pieces. Roll each piece into a small ball to form the donut holes.
- Heat the Oil: Heat a large heavy pot over medium-high heat and add vegetable oil to about 1-inch depth. Heat the oil to 350 degrees Fahrenheit, ensuring it's hot enough for frying.
- Fry the Donut Holes: Carefully drop a few dough balls into the hot oil, frying in small batches. Cook them until golden brown on all sides, about 2 to 3 minutes per batch. Remove the donut holes with a slotted spoon and place them on a cooling rack or paper towels to drain excess oil and cool slightly.
- Coat with Cinnamon Sugar: In a shallow bowl or plate, combine the granulated sugar and ground cinnamon. Roll each fried donut hole in this sugar mixture, ensuring an even coating.
- Make the Chocolate Dipping Sauce: In a microwave-safe bowl, combine the semi-sweet chocolate chips and heavy whipping cream. Microwave on high for 30 to 45 seconds until the chocolate is completely melted. Stir the mixture until smooth and creamy.
- Serve: Serve the warm donut holes with the chocolate dipping sauce on the side for dipping and enjoy immediately.
Notes
- Ensure the oil temperature stays around 350 degrees Fahrenheit for perfect frying to avoid greasy or undercooked donut holes.
- Roll dough pieces evenly to make uniform donut holes for consistent cooking.
- The chocolate dipping sauce can be made ahead and gently reheated before serving.
- You can substitute the semi-sweet chocolate chips with milk or dark chocolate based on preference.
- Use a candy thermometer to monitor oil temperature precisely for best results.
