Ingredients

1 can biscuits I used Grand biscuits
1 cup powdered sugar
2/3 cup Nutella hazelnut spread
4 cups oil for deep frying

Instructions

Start by adding oil to your heavy bottom pot or deep fryer. Heat oil to 350 degrees.
While oil is heating you will want to place a cookie sheet on counter then place a cooling rack on top. This will be to place donuts, and the excess oil drips off into the baking sheet.
Stretch out your raw biscuit dough to 1/2-1" wider, so they are a bit flatter and circular.
Place a donut or two into the hot oil and fry for around 1 minute on each side, or until nice and golden brown.
Remove donut, let excess drip off and place on cooling rack to cool. Repeat until all the biscuit dough is cooked.
Once donuts have cooled, then grab a piping bag, and fill with the hazelnut spread. Stick the tip into the dough and pipe 1-2 tablespoons of Nutella into the donut.
Repeat until all the donuts are stuffed with the Nutella. Then dust the filled donuts with powdered sugar and serve.

Notes

Air Fryer Directions - Place your flatted donuts in a single layer in your air fryer and cook for 5-6 minutes at 320 degrees. Spritz the biscuit dough with oil so they turn golden brown. Then allow to cool the same.

Filling - I used Hazelnut spread but you can swap with a cream, jelly, jam, or any other donut filling.

Topping - Swap the powdered sugar with a cinnamon and sugar coating. You will roll the hot donuts in the cinnamon and sugar mixture to ensure it sticks. Then once the donuts are cooled you will fill the same.

Freezing - You can freeze your leftover donuts for 2-3 months. Allow the donuts to fully cool then place in an airtight container or freezer bag.
