Ingredients
for 8 servings
- 8 cups canola oil (1.9 L), for frying
- 4 tablespoons granulated sugar
- 1 tablespoon cinnamon
- ½ teaspoon kosher salt
- ½ teaspoon ground szechuan peppercorn
- all purpose flour, for dusting
- 1 can can of biscuit dough
Preparation
- Fill a large pot with 2 inches (5 cm) of canola oil. Heat over medium-high heat until the oil reaches 350°F (180°C).
- In a medium bowl, mix together the sugar, cinnamon, salt, and ground Szechuan peppercorns. Set aside.
- On a lightly floured surface, use a rolling pin to roll out the biscuits to ¼-inch (6 mm) thick. Using a 2-inch (5 cm) round cutter, punch a mini donut hole out of each biscuit. Discard the remaining dough or save for another use.
- Working in batches, add the donut holes to the hot oil and fry for 3 minutes on one side, until golden brown. Flip and cook on the other side for 1–2 minutes more, until cooked through and golden brown all over. Use a wire skimmer to transfer the donut holes to a wire rack set over a baking sheet. Let drain for a minute, then transfer the warm donuts to the sugar mixture and toss well to coat.
- Enjoy!
