Salted Caramel Doughnuts Recipe

Ingredients

2

cups Crisco® Pure Canola Oil

1/2

cup Pillsbury™ Creamy Supreme™ Classic White Frosting

1/4

cup hot caramel flavored topping

2

                        cans (6 oz) refrigerated Pillsbury™ Flaky Layers Buttermilk Biscuits (5 Count) 

1/4

cup chopped pecans

1/2

teaspoon coarse sea salt

Preparation

In 3-quart heavy saucepan or deep fryer, heat oil over medium heat to 375°F.

Meanwhile, in small bowl, mix frosting and caramel topping; set aside.

Separate dough into 10 biscuits. Using your finger, form a hole in center of each biscuit to resemble a doughnut.

Place paper towels under cooling rack. Carefully place 3 or 4 doughnuts in hot oil. Cook 1 to 1 1/2 minutes or until golden brown. Gently turn with tongs; cook 1 to 1 1/2 minutes or until golden brown. Place on cooling rack; cool 2 to 3 minutes.

Repeat with remaining biscuits. Spread about 1 tablespoon frosting onto each doughnut. Sprinkle with chopped nuts and salt.
