Ingredients:

• 1 can Biscuit Dough 

For Glaze:

• 1/3 cup Butter
• 1 teaspoon Honey
• 1/3 cup Hot Water
• 1 1/2 cups Powdered Icing Sugar
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla Extract

Directions:

For donut holes:

• Line a plate with paper towels and set aside.
• Set a cooling rack over a baking tray and set aside for the glazed donut holes.
• Place your frying oil in a Dutch Oven over medium heat. Use a candy thermometer to ensure you bring the oil to 350°F.
• Cut each biscuit with a small circular cookie cutter, then shape similarly sized balls of dough with the remaining biscuit dough.
• Once oil is hot, fry donut holes in groups of 5 or 6 for about 1 minute per side, until golden brown.
• Set fried donut holes on the paper towel-lined plate.
• Once all donut holes have been fried, turn off the heat for the oil.

For the glazing:

• In a small bowl, whisk together the butter, honey, and hot water until well combined. Next, sift the powdered icing sugar into the butter mixture and whisk it together to create a thick glaze. Gradually whisk in the vanilla extract.
• Then, in groups of 4 to 5, dip the donut holes into the honey glaze. Finally, place the glazed donut holes on a prepared cooling rack set over a baking sheet to catch any drips.
• Allow to set for 30 minutes until dry to the touch.
• If desired, give the donut holes a second glaze.
• Enjoy!
