Ingredients for Baked Sugar Doughnuts P

  • Refrigerated Buttermilk Biscuits
  • 1/4 cup (1/2 stick) unsalted butter, melted
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar

How to Make Baked Sugar Doughnuts P

  1. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C).
  2. Separate the dough into 10 biscuits. Lightly flour your work surface to prevent sticking.
  3. Gently flatten each biscuit into a 2 1/2-inch round using a rolling pin or your hands.
  4. Using a 1-inch round biscuit cutter (or a small knife), cut a hole in the center of each round.
  5. In a shallow dish, melt 1/4 cup (1/2 stick) of butter. In a separate shallow dish, combine 1/2 cup granulated sugar and 1/4 cup cinnamon (optional).
  6. Dip each doughnut (including the center) into the melted butter, ensuring it's fully coated. Then, immediately roll it in the sugar-cinnamon mixture, pressing gently to adhere.
  7. Place the coated doughnuts onto an ungreased baking sheet.
  8. Bake for 12-14 minutes, or until golden brown and cooked through. Keep a close eye on them as ovens vary.
  9. Let cool slightly on the baking sheet before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely. Enjoy warm!

Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor

Chef's secret: layers of flavor make a dish truly memorable! Consider what a little extra something could bring – perhaps a touch of acidity like a good vinegar or citrus zest, a hint of smokiness from paprika, a bit of umami from mushrooms or soy sauce, or a sprinkle of toasted nuts for texture. Experiment and taste as you go!
