Equipment

Ingredients

4 Cup Oil Peanut or Vegetable
1 can Pre-made Biscuits I used Grands
1 1/2 cups Powdered Sugar
2 Tablespoons Milk
1 teaspoon Vanilla Extract
Pink and Purple Food Dye optional
1/4 cup Unicorn Sprinkles optional

Instructions

Open up your biscuits, and then place them on a cutting board. Use a cookie cutter and cut out the center, making the hole for the donuts.
Preheat your oil in a Dutch Oven or heavy duty pot. Make sure the temperature of the oil reads 350 degrees.
Once the oil is hot fry the donuts for 1 minute per side or until the donuts are golden in color and fully cooked.
Place on a baking sheet, with a cookie tray under to catch all the drips.
Repeat the process until all the donuts and cooked. Make sure to cook the donut holes as well.
Now in a bowl, mix powdered sugar, milk and vanilla. Then add drops of food coloring in different spots of the bowl. Then use a toothpick and swirl it around a bit to create a tie-dye look.
Dip your cool donuts in the glaze, part way in. Then lift straight up. Dust with sprinkles, and repeat.
These biscuit donuts are a fun unicorn glazed donut for you to try out. You can skip the food coloring if you don't want a glazed unicorn donut.

Notes

Biscuits - I used Grands biscuits, but any brand of canned biscuits work.

Frying - Make sure to fry until golden brown. Depending on how hot the oil is the cook time varies.

Air Fry Directions - Place your donuts in a single layer in your air fryer. Spritz with oil then air fry at 350 for 3-4 minutes, flip and repeat until the donuts are done. Then glaze as directed.

Baking Directions - Cut your donuts and place on a greased baking sheet. Bake at 350 degrees for 5 minutes, flip and cook until done. This will take around 4-5 more minutes. Then dip donuts in the glaze.
