How To Make The Easiest Homemade Donut Hole Recipe With Pillsbury Biscuits

Honestly, you probably don’t even need any instructions as these pictures pretty much explain it all, but I’m going to give them to you anyway. I don’t want you messing these up.

Instructions

Preheat your oven to 350 degrees.
Microwave the butter in a small bowl until thoroughly melted.
In a separate bowl, combine the sugar and cinnamon.
Open up the biscuits and cut all 8 of them into quarters.
Roll the dough pieces into balls, drench them in the butter, and then roll them in the cinnamon-sugar mixture.
Place them in a greased shallow baking dish and bake for 15-20 minutes.
Try not to eat them all in one sitting.

Here are the beautiful dough balls covered in sugar and cinnamon before baking. They just barely fit in this pie dish! I’d actually recommend using a slightly larger baking dish than what I used, as I preferred the crispy donut holes on the outer edge compared to the softer ones in the middle.

You could also melt a little cream cheese frosting in the microwave and then drizzle the donut holes with it after they get done baking!

Notes

*The dish you choose for this recipe will greatly effect the texture and cook time of the dough. If your dough is touching you will get really soft donut holes that need a little more bake time, but if your dough has some space in between you'll get a crispier and more even result. The next time I make these I'll probably try them in a larger dish so that there's a little more space in between each dough ball.
