Instructions

  • Place the vegetable oil into a heavy bottom pot.  You want at least 2 inches of oil covering the bottom of the pot.  Start heating the oil over medium-high heat.  (We want it to reach 350 degrees).
  • Line a baking sheet with paper towels.  Set this next to the pot of hot oil.
  • Make the glaze.  Stir together powdered sugar, vanilla, and milk until smooth.  Set this aside.
  • Open the can of biscuits and use scissors to cut each biscuit into 6 pieces.  Roll the pieces in your hands to make them as round as possible.
  • Use a slotted spoon to carefully place a few donut holes at a time into the hot oil.  (Do not crowd them, as this will cause the oil to drop in temperature.)  It will only take a few minutes for each to cook.
  • Remove the golden donut holes to the baking sheet lined with paper towels.  Allow them to cool slightly.
  • Use a fork or tongs to dip and swirl each donut, one by one, into the glaze. Allow the excess glaze to drip off, then place the glazed donut holes in a wreath shape on a large round platter.  Make sure they are touching each other so that the glaze will help them stick together.
  • Lightly sprinkle with powdered sugar and red and green sprinkles for a more festive wreath!
