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

Want to unlock deeper, more complex flavors? Try toasting your whole spices before grinding them, or blooming ground spices in a little warm oil to enhance their aroma. Deglazing your pan with a bit of stock, wine, or even water after browning ingredients can capture those tasty caramelized bits, adding richness to your dish.
