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:
- Start by heating vegetable oil in a deep skillet or pot over medium heat until it reaches 350°F (175°C).
- While the oil is heating, carefully unroll the crescent roll dough and separate it into triangles.
- 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.
- 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.
- Remove the fried doughnuts from the oil using a slotted spoon and transfer them to a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil.
- In a shallow bowl, whisk together powdered sugar, milk, and vanilla extract until smooth to make the glaze.
- Dip each doughnut into the glaze, coating it completely, then place it back on the plate to set.
- Serve the Crescent Roll Doughnuts warm and enjoy them as a delicious snack or dessert.
