Description
These Nutella Stuffed Biscuit Doughnuts are a quick and delicious treat made from flaky biscuit dough filled with creamy Nutella chocolate spread, fried to golden perfection, and coated in cinnamon sugar for a sweet, crunchy finish.
Ingredients
Scale
For the Coating
- ¼ cup cinnamon
- ¼ cup granulated sugar
For the Doughnuts
- 1 can biscuit dough (such as Grands! Flaky Layers Original Biscuits)
- ¾ cup Nutella
- Vegetable oil for frying
Instructions
- Prepare Cinnamon Sugar: Combine the cinnamon and granulated sugar in a shallow bowl and set aside for coating later.
- Flatten Dough: Working one at a time, use a rolling pin to flatten each piece of biscuit dough into a disc approximately ¼-inch thick. Repeat this until all dough pieces are flattened.
- Add Nutella Filling: Spoon a dollop of Nutella into the center of half of the dough discs.
- Seal Doughnuts: Place a plain dough disc over each Nutella-topped disc. Pinch the edges firmly with your fingers to seal the Nutella filling inside completely.
- Heat Oil: In a large pot, heat enough vegetable oil to submerge the doughnuts to 350 degrees Fahrenheit (175°C).
- Fry Doughnuts: Carefully place the sealed biscuit doughnuts into the hot oil in batches. Fry for 4-5 minutes on each side until they turn golden brown and are cooked through.
- Drain and Coat: Remove the doughnuts from the oil and set them on paper towels to drain excess oil. While still warm, roll each doughnut in the prepared cinnamon sugar mixture.
- Serve and Store: Enjoy the doughnuts warm. Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 2 days.
Notes
- Make sure to fry the biscuit doughnuts long enough to avoid raw or doughy centers.
- If they are undercooked, preheat your oven to 350°F, place the doughnuts on a greased baking sheet, and bake for 10-12 minutes until fully cooked.
- Use a candy or deep-fry thermometer to ensure oil temperature is consistent at 350°F for best results.
- Serve fresh and warm for optimal taste and texture.
