Ingredients

Scale

Donuts

  • 1 can flaky jumbo biscuit dough (8 biscuits)
  • 4 cups vegetable oil (for frying)

Glaze

  • 1 1/2 cups powdered sugar
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
  • 3 tablespoons milk

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Biscuit Dough: Open the can of flaky jumbo biscuit dough and separate each biscuit carefully to prepare for frying.
  2. Heat the Oil: Pour 4 cups of vegetable oil into a deep skillet or frying pan and heat over medium heat until it reaches about 350°F (175°C) or until a small piece of dough sizzles and turns golden quickly.
  3. Fry the Donuts: Carefully place the biscuit dough pieces into the hot oil. Fry them in batches, turning occasionally, until they are golden brown and cooked through, approximately 2-3 minutes per side. Use a slotted spoon to remove the donuts and drain on paper towels.
  4. Make the Glaze: In a medium bowl, whisk together 1 1/2 cups powdered sugar, 2 teaspoons vanilla extract, and 3 tablespoons milk until smooth and slightly runny but thick enough to cling to the donuts.
  5. Assemble the Wreath: Arrange the fried donuts in a circular wreath shape on a large serving plate.
  6. Glaze the Donuts: Drizzle the vanilla glaze evenly over the donuts, allowing it to drip down the sides, or dip each donut quickly into the glaze and then return to the plate.
  7. Serve and Enjoy: Let the glaze set for a few minutes before serving. Enjoy this festive and delicious Christmas donut wreath with family and friends.

Notes

  • Ensure the oil temperature is maintained around 350°F to cook donuts evenly without them soaking up too much oil.
  • Do not overcrowd the pan when frying to maintain oil temperature and crispiness.
  • The glaze can be customized by adding food coloring or festive sprinkles for extra holiday flair.
  • Store leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days. Reheat briefly to refresh texture.
