Grands!® Pumpkin Doughnuts

Bake biscuits into doughnuts and add a quick pumpkin glaze for a fall flavor upgrade. These doughnuts are best warm and fresh. Invite friends and family over for a doughnut party. Hand out a few paper plates, and let everyone fight over the first bite of just-made doughnuts!

Grands Pumpkin Doughnuts

Ingredients

  • 2 cups vegetable oil for frying
  • 4 cups powdered sugar
  • 4 1/2 teaspoons pumpkin pie spice
  • 1 tablespoon canned pumpkin (not pumpkin pie mix)*
  • 3 to 4 tablespoons Half-and-Half
  • 1 can Pillsbury™ Grands!™ Flaky Layers refrigerated biscuits (8 biscuits)

Instructions

  1. In 2-quart saucepan, heat oil over medium heat to 350 degrees F to 375 degrees F.
  2. In large bowl, beat powdered sugar, pumpkin pie spice, pumpkin and just enough Half-and-Half with whisk until smooth and thick glaze forms. Set aside.
  3. Separate dough into 8 biscuits. Using small round lid or cookie cutter, cut hole in center of each biscuit.
  4. Gently place 2 or 3 biscuits in hot oil. (Biscuit holes can also be fried!) Fry on one side until golden brown. With tongs, gently turn each biscuit over; fry until other side is golden brown.
  5. Remove doughnuts from oil; immediately dip into pumpkin glaze.
  6. Place doughnuts on cooling rack; cool for 3 to 5 minutes or until glaze is set before serving.

Notes

* Don't have pumpkin in the house? No worries! This recipe tastes just as good when the pumpkin is omitted.
