When I woke up yesterday I put on my sneakers and walked outside for a run...
and it was raining and cold... Then I thought to myself:
I will make DOUGHNUTS!
I can be so bad sometimes. I made doughnuts from biscuits in the spring and they turned out awesome {here, here}. I was on my Target run this week and the biscuit section stopped me dead in my tracks. Happens all the time! I was thinking about making doughnuts again and then I thought...why don't I try to use cinnamon rolls?
Cinnamon Roll Doughnuts
Ingredients:
Refrigerated Cinnamon Rolls
Canola Oil
Directions:
1. Begin to heat the oil in a large dutch oven to 350 degrees {you could use a smaller pan but it will just take longer}. You want about 1-2 inches of oil. Punch a whole in the middle of the biscuits with a circular object. {I used our garlic press}
2. Carefully drop dough in the oil. Allow dough to cook about for about 30 seconds on each side. You want them to be a nice golden brown. If you're new to frying, you can test one out first to make sure you are cooking it long enough.
3. Use a slotted spatula to remove the doughnuts from the oil, then place on wire rack.
4. I heated the icing in the microwave for about 5-10 seconds to make it more pourable. You might want to put the wire rack on a metal cookie sheet so can re-use the icing that drips off.
Now I was pretty impressed with how these doughnuts turned out. I recommend eating them right away! The longer you wait the more they tasted just like a normal cinnamon roll {which is not necessarily a bad thing}!
