Doughnuts From Refrigerated Biscuit Dough


  • 1 can refrigerated biscuit dough (any brand)
  • 1 quart vegetable oil
  • 1 cup sifted confectioners’ sugar
  • 3 to 4 tablespoons maple syrup
  • Clean pop bottle lid
  • Small mixing bowl
  • Mixing spoon
  • Heavy pan for deep frying
  • Paper towels for draining
  • Serving dish

    • Cut centers out of biscuits with clean pop bottle lid. Save centers and fry seperately from doughnuts.

  • In a small mixing bowl, mix together powdered sugar and maple syrup until no longer lumpy. Set aside.
  • In heavy pan or deep fryer, fry two to three doughnuts at a time until golden brown; turn and fry second side until golden brown. Remove from oil and place on paper towel to get off excess grease.  Temp should be about 375 for best results.
  • Immediately dip in maple glaze. Put on serving dish and serve immediately.  OR as an alternative, just coat them in sugar and enjoy.  Couldn’t get much simpler than that!

    • Cheddar Cheese Puffs ….. with a surprise!


    Makes 48 puffs

    48 small green stuffed olives, well drained

    • Preheat the oven to 400 degrees.
    1. Blend the grated cheese and butter. Stir in the flour, salt and paprika. (This can all be done in a food processor equipped with the metal blade.)
    2. Mold 1 teaspoon of the mixture around each olive. Chill the puffs until firm, about 30 minutes. Arrange the puffs on ungreased baking sheets.
