Pumpkin Glazed Donuts

Griff and I got a little festive for breakfast last week! I had some refrigerated biscuits I needed to use...and of course I wanted to incorporate pumpkin! You can make the actual donuts pumpkin flavored if you wanna go the "from scratch" route...I just didn't have the energy for that this time, maybe next time. 

I make these biscuit donuts alllllll the time. We make glazed, chocolate, cinnamon/sugar....the possibilities are endless. When I saw this recipe in an email from Pilsbury recently I knew we had to give it a go!

Ingredients

2 cups vegetable oil for frying 

4 cups powdered sugar  

4 1/2 teaspoons pumpkin pie spice 

1 tablespoon canned pumpkin (not pumpkin pie mix)  

3 to 4 tablespoons half-and-half 

1 can Pillsbury® Grands!® Flaky Layers refrigerated biscuits (8 biscuits) 

 

 

Steps

1. In 2-quart saucepan, heat oil over medium heat to 350°F to 375°F. 

2. In large bowl, beat powdered sugar, pumpkin pie spice, pumpkin and just enough half-and-half with whisk until smooth and thick glaze forms. Set aside.  

3. Separate dough into 8 biscuits. Using small round lid or cookie cutter, cut hole in center of each biscuit. 

4. Gently place 2 or 3 biscuits in hot oil. (Biscuit holes can also be fried!) Fry on one side until golden brown. With tongs, gently turn each biscuit over; fry until other side is golden brown. 

 

5. Remove doughnuts from oil; immediately dip into pumpkin glaze. Place doughnuts on cooling rack; cool 3 to 5 minutes or until glaze is set before serving.

  We did a little cinnamon/sugar action too!

 

 BOO!
