Chinese Donuts

Just 3 ingredients is all you need to make these easy Chinese Donuts. Puffy, golden, and covered in sugar, they taste just like the ones you get at your favorite Asian buffet! These are so fun and easy to make, and they’re a great recipe for the kids to help with (maybe stick them at the rolling station and NOT the flaming hot oil frying station). They’re also incredibly versatile. I stuffed some sauteed apples in a few of them and rolled them in cinnamon sugar, but they’d also be fabulous dunked in chocolate or salted caramel sauce (swooooon). The good news is, these Chinese donuts are so quick to make, you’ll have plenty of time left over to do your home repairs the right way. And trust me, you want to do them the right way.

INGREDIENTS:
1 can buttermilk biscuits
1/2 cup sugar
Oil for frying

INSTRUCTIONS:
In a large heavy bottomed pot, heat a few inches of oil to 350 degrees. Remove the biscuits from the package, and slice each one in fourths. Roll them into ball shapes, then drop them in the hot oil. You should be able to put 5-7 of them in the pot at one time. Fry until golden on one side, then flip, and fry until golden on the opposite side. Remove the donuts to a paper towel lined plate. Place the sugar in a bowl, and then roll the warm donuts in the sugar. Repeat with remaining dough, and eat them while they’re warm!

Notes: These are, of course, best eaten right away!
