Prep time: 15 minutes | Cooking time: 10 minutes | Total time: 25 minutes

Ingredients:

  • 1 can (8 oz) refrigerated crescent roll dough
  • Vegetable oil, for frying
  • 1 cup powdered sugar
  • 2-3 tablespoons milk
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Instructions:

  1. Start by heating vegetable oil in a deep skillet or pot over medium heat until it reaches 350°F (175°C).
  2. While the oil is heating, carefully unroll the crescent roll dough and separate it into triangles.
  3. Using a small round cookie cutter or the cap of a bottle, cut out a hole in the center of each triangle to form the doughnut shape.
  4. Once the oil is hot, carefully place the doughnuts in the oil, a few at a time, and fry for 1-2 minutes on each side or until golden brown.
  5. Remove the fried doughnuts from the oil using a slotted spoon and transfer them to a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil.
  6. In a shallow bowl, whisk together powdered sugar, milk, and vanilla extract until smooth to make the glaze.
  7. Dip each doughnut into the glaze, coating it completely, then place it back on the plate to set.
  8. Serve the Crescent Roll Doughnuts warm and enjoy them as a delicious snack or dessert.
