Homemade Biscuit Dough Recipe
Ingredients:
3 ¾ cups all-purpose flour
2 ½ tbsp baking powder
1 ½ tsp kosher salt
2 tbsp granulated sugar
2 ½ sticks unsalted butter, cut into cubes (very cold)
1 cup buttermilk
Instructions:
Mix Dry Ingredients: In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, salt, and sugar.
Add Butter: Add the cold butter cubes to the dry mixture. Use your hands or a pastry cutter to mix until the butter forms pea-sized crumbs.
Add Buttermilk: Slowly pour in the buttermilk, mixing gently until the dough just comes together. Avoid overmixing.
Knead the Dough: Transfer the dough to a floured surface and gently knead until smooth. Your dough is now ready for donuts!
Quick Donuts Using Biscuit Dough
Ingredients:
Biscuit dough (see above)
2 cups vegetable oil (for frying)
Powdered sugar or cinnamon (for topping)
Instructions:
Prepare the Doughnuts: Roll the biscuit dough slightly and cut into donut shapes using a round cutter (or a glass). Use a smaller cutter (or bottle cap) for the center holes to make donut bites.
Heat the Oil: Heat vegetable oil in a deep skillet or Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Test readiness by dropping a small piece of dough; it should sizzle immediately.
Fry the Donuts: Carefully fry donuts and holes for 1-2 minutes per side, or until golden brown. Remove with a slotted spoon and drain on paper towels.
Add the Topping: While warm, generously sprinkle powdered sugar or cinnamon on the donuts.
