Ingredients
Scale
Dough
- 1 can refrigerated biscuit dough (10 biscuits)
Filling
- 8 oz softened cream cheese
- 1/4 cup powdered sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 tablespoon strawberry preserves per donut (approximately 10 tablespoons total)
For Frying and Serving
- Vegetable oil, for frying (about 2 cups or enough to submerge donuts)
- Powdered sugar, for dusting
Instructions
- Prepare the Filling: In a mixing bowl, blend the softened cream cheese, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract together until completely smooth and creamy.
- Shape the Dough: Flatten each biscuit round into approximately a 3-inch circle using your hands or a rolling pin to create an even thickness for stuffing.
- Assemble Donuts: Place about 1 tablespoon of strawberry preserves and a spoonful of the cream cheese mixture onto the center of each biscuit circle. Fold the dough into a half-moon shape and press the edges firmly together to seal tightly and prevent filling leakage during frying.
- Fry the Donuts: Heat vegetable oil in a deep skillet or deep-fryer to 350°F (175°C). Carefully place the donuts seam-side down into the hot oil. Fry each side for about 2 to 3 minutes until they turn golden brown and crispy.
- Cool and Serve: Remove the fried donuts and drain on paper towels to remove excess oil. Let them cool slightly before dusting liberally with powdered sugar. Serve warm for the best texture and flavor.
Notes
- Ensure the donut edges are well sealed to prevent the filling from leaking while frying.
- Use a thermometer to maintain the oil temperature at 350°F for even frying.
- You can substitute strawberry preserves with other fruit jams for variety.
- These donuts are best enjoyed fresh but can be reheated gently in an oven to restore crispiness.
- Handle the hot oil with care to avoid burns or splatters.
