Cinnamon Sugar Canned Biscuit Donuts Recipe

I gave this batch of Cinnamon Sugar Canned Biscuit Donuts to a friend of mine for her birthday and she gave me the highest compliment! She thought they were from Paul Bunyon’s!

She is now calling me Paulette Bunyon. Hilarious!

These donuts are super easy to make using a can of store bought biscuit dough. You can also make Powdered Sugar Canned Biscuit Donuts following the same recipe!

If you love cinnamon and sugar as much as I do, then I think you’ll love Cinnamon Sugar Donut Muffins , Baked Cinnamon Sugar Donuts , and Cinnamon Sugar Biscuit Bites , too!

What You’ll Need

1 (16 oz) can Grands Biscuits

Oil for Frying

1 cup Sugar

2 tsp Cinnamon

How to Make Cinnamon Sugar Canned Biscuit Donuts

Pour oil in a large pan, enough so the donuts float. Heat oil on medium to high heat for about 5 minutes. Set a cooling rack over top paper towel.

In the meantime, lay out the biscuit dough on parchment paper. Use a small round cutter to cut out the center of each biscuit.

Carefully drop the donuts into the hot oil, watching carefully and turning when golden. Once both sides are golden, remove from the oil and set on the cooling rack.

Repeat until all donuts are fried.

While they cool, mix together 1 cup sugar and 2 tsp cinnamon in a small bowl.

Once the donuts are cooled, toss into the cinnamon sugar mixture one at a time, coating well. Return to the drying rack and repeat until all donuts are covered.
