Ingredients:

Makes 8 donuts and 8 donut holes

• 2 cups vegetable oil for frying
• 4 cups powdered sugar
• 4 tbsp milk
• 1 can large refrigerated biscuits (8 biscuits)- I use Pillsbury Grands Flaky Layers
• Neon green food coloring
• small red heart sprinkles

Directions:

1.  In 2-quart saucepan, heat oil over medium heat to 350°F to 375°F. 
2. In large bowl, beat powdered sugar and just enough milk until smooth and thick glaze forms.
3. Add a few drops of neon green coloring and stir until you get desired color.
4. Separate dough into 8 biscuits. 
5. Using small round lid or cookie cutter, cut hole in center of each biscuit (I used my olive oil bottle lid). 
6. Gently place 2 or 3 biscuits in hot oil. (Biscuit holes can also be fried!) 
7. Fry on one side until golden brown. With tongs, gently turn each biscuit over; fry until other side is golden brown. 
8. Remove doughnuts from oil, let excess oil drip off (you can also pat with a paper towel to remove any oil)
9. Immediately dip into green glaze.  I just dipped the top but you can dip the whole donut if you’d like! This recipe makes plenty of glaze!
10. Place doughnuts on cooling rack and add one red heart sprinkle to complete your Grinch inspired donut!
11. Cool 3 to 5 minutes or until glaze is set before serving.
