Want to make fresh, hot doughnuts with a fraction of the work? This hack has been going around for sometime and I finally tried it. It's a game-changer! Instead of making dough, waiting for it to rise, shaping it, giving it a second rise … you can just buy frozen dinner rolls, let them defrost and rise as is, and continue with the frying from there! Less work, less cleanup, and really not a whole lot lost in terms of taste.
Ingredients
- Rhodes frozen dinner rolls (or similar)
- Oil for frying
- Jam for filling (or filling of your choice)
- Confectioners sugar for topping (or topping of your choice)
Directions
- Allow dough to defrost and rise according to the instructions on the back of the bag.
- Heat oil (in a pot or deep fryer) to 350°F (180°C).
- Fry doughnuts for a minute or two on each side, until the outside is golden and the center is cooked through.
- Remove with a slotted spoon and set on a cooling rack or a plate lined with paper towels.
- Allow doughnuts to cool. Use a knife to poke a hole from the side into the center, fill with jam or filling of your choice. Click here for more detailed directions showing how to fill your doughnuts.
- Top with powdered sugar.
