Equipment

  • Tongs
  • Dutch oven
  • Paper towels
  • Saucepan or bowl to melt chocolate
  • Spatula

Ingredients

  • Canned biscuits
  • Cinnamon sugar mixture just ⅓ cup of sugar and 1 teaspoon cinnamon mixed together
  • Ghirardelli Dark Chocolate Wafers
  • Sprinkles optional
  • Canola oil
  • Circle cookie cutter

Instructions

  • Preheat 2 inches of oil in a Dutch oven or a large pot. It’s not a good idea to use a small short sided skillet for this due to the hot oil splashing out.
  • While the oil is heating to 350 degrees, get your biscuits ready. Pat or roll out each biscuit to approximately 1 ½ inches in height. Then cut out the middle of each biscuit.
  • When the oil is ready, add two to three biscuits in at a time. Using tongs turn them over after about three minutes so both sides get browned. Then repeat the same process with the donut holes.
  • Remove them immediately and place them on paper towels to drain.
  • After the donuts are done, melt the chocolate in a double boiler or microwave following the instructions on the package.
  • As soon as the homemade donuts are cooled down enough to touch, dip them in the chocolate and top with sprinkles, roll in a simple sugar mixture or roll them in cinnamon mixture.
