How to make homemade donuts from Grands

Place an inch or two of oil (any oil that is good for frying will work) in a saucepan on the stove over medium heat.

Open the biscuits and separate. Using any small round object, punch holes in the middle of each biscuit.

Don’t toss these, you can make doughnut holes with them!

Once your oil is warm and starting to make a bubbling sound, place each doughnut in the oil. Let it cook for a few minutes on each side to make it brown, if your oil is hotter it will take less time to cook. Remove the cooked doughnuts from the oil when they are golden brown on each side and place them on a plate to dry and cool a bit.

In a bowl, whisk together the powdered sugar and milk until there are no more lumps. Pour the glaze mixture over the doughnuts as desired and enjoy warm.
