Quick Doughnuts with Anise Sugar and Orange Marmalade

1. 1

   Heat 3 inches of oil to 325F in a countertop electric fryer or deep pot.

2. 2

   If you dont have a deep-fry thermometer, a good way to test if the oil is hot enough is to stick the end of a wooden spoon or chopstick in it.

3. 3

   If bubbles circle around the end, then youre good to go.

4. 4

   In a medium bowl, combine the sugar and anise seed.

5. 5

   Open the tubes of biscuits and pull the individual pieces apart to give you 16 doughnuts.

6. 6

   Fry a couple of pieces at a time, keeping an eye on maintaining the oil temperature.

7. 7

   As the doughnuts puff up and rise to the surface, flip them over with a slotted spoon, skimmer, or chopsticks.

8. 8

   They should take roughly 2 minutes on each side.

9. 9

   Carefully remove the doughnuts from the oil and transfer directly into the bowl of anise sugar, tossing to coat evenly.

10. 10

    Fit a small pastry bag with a large tip and fill with the orange marmalade.

11. 11

    Poke a hole into the middle of each doughnut with the tip and pipe the marmalade inside the doughnuts to fill.

12. 12

    These are best served warm.
