Have you ever made donuts before? Recently I was challenged to make donuts, and I was nervous because I had never made donuts before!

So I pulled up my sweat pants and decided to try making donuts similar to my scones and that is how I came up with these easy chocolate glazed donuts! And they are delicious if I do say so myself!

The donuts are made with pre-made dough and are simple to fry up, and the chocolate glaze is easily done as well!

Ingredients You'll Need For This Recipe:

• Frozen Rolls
• Vegetable Oil
• Cooking Spray
• 1 cup Powdered Sugar
• 4 Tbsp Cocoa Powder
• 1 tsp. Vanilla Extract
• 3-5 Tbsp. Milk

Thawing the Roll Dough:

Spray a cookie sheet with cooking spray and then place your frozen rolls onto the cookie sheet. Spray a sheet of plastic wrap with the cooking spray and then cover the rolls.

About 45 minutes later while the rolls are still cold, poke a hole through the middle using your fingers, about two fingers wide. Recover with the plastic wrap.

Once the rolls have doubled they are ready to fry.

The time it takes to double depends on how warm your home is. Mine only took about an hour or two because it is warm here.

Frying Donuts:

Fill a large frying pan with about 1 ½ inches of oil and heat to about 350 degrees.

Place each donut into the oil and brown on each side, then drain onto a paper towel.

Chocolate Glaze:

Add powdered sugar, cocoa powder, and vanilla in a bowl and mix together. Slowly add milk, a tablespoon at a time, until you get the desired consistency for your glaze.

If you accidentally put in too much milk, you can add ¼ cup powdered sugar and 1 tablespoon cocoa powder to get it back to the right consistency.

Glazing the Donuts:

Dip each donut into your glaze and swirl it around a bit.

Place the donuts on a cookie sheet with cooling racks to let the excess glaze drip off a bit. While the glaze is still wet add some sprinkles, nuts, or even coconut!
