Sara Hailey’S Chocolate Dipped Doughnuts And Doughnut Holes

1. 1

   Heat 2 inches of oil in a large skillet to about 350 degrees. Lay all your biscuits out on a sheet pan and use a bottle cap to cut the centers out of each biscuit. (My children love to help do this part.) Let the biscuits rest at room temperature for a few minutes so they start to rise.

2. 2

   Fry them in the oil until they are a light golden brown and flip them over to brown the other side. Place them on a paper towel to drain any extra oil off. Also take the holes and fry them. They cook very quickly, so keep and eye on them.

3. 3

   Making icing:

4. 4

   Mix confectioner's sugar and cocoa together. Add in butter and mix well. Next add the milk. To give the icing a beautiful shine, add the corn syrup and last add the vanilla.

5. 5

   Hold the cooled doughnuts and doughnut holes upside down and dip in the chocolate icing. (Kids can help dip the doughnuts!)

6. 6

   You can also decorate the chocolate doughnuts with sprinkles.

7. 7

   Another fun thing for the kids to help out with is coating the doughnuts and doughnut holes with cinnamon/sugar. Use a paper bag, add the cinnamon/suagr mixture in and drop the doughnuts in and let the kids shake away. Powdered sugar works great, too.
