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.
