Recipe Card

ingredients

  • 1 package Pillsbury Grands Biscuits
  • Vegetable oil, for frying
  • 1 cup pink store-bought frosting
  • 1-2 tablespoons milk, to thin out the frosting
  • Sprinkles, for topping

Method

  • Step 1

    Open the can of Pillsbury Grands biscuits and use a small cutter or the cap of a bottle to cut out the center of each biscuit to create donut shapes.

  • Step 2

    Heat about 2 inches of vegetable oil in a deep skillet to 350°F.

  • Step 3

    Fry the donuts for about 1-2 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and cooked through. Carefully transfer the donuts to a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil.

  • Step 4

    In a small bowl, mix the pink store-bought frosting with 1-2 tablespoons of milk to thin it out until smooth and pourable.

  • Step 5

    Dip the top of each cooled donut into the frosting, swirling to coat evenly. Add sprinkles if desired.

  • Step 6

    Let the frosting set for a few minutes, then enjoy!
