Ingredients
Refrigerated biscuits for convenience.
Softened cream cheese and powdered sugar for a creamy, tangy filling.
Strawberry preserves for a fruity twist.
Vegetable oil for frying, and powdered sugar for the final dusting.
Instructions
Prepare the Filling: In a mixing bowl, blend softened cream cheese, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract until smooth.
Shape the Dough: Flatten each biscuit round into a 3-inch circle using your hands or a rolling pin.
Assemble: Add 1 tablespoon of strawberry preserves and cream cheese mixture to the center of each circle. Fold into a half-moon shape, sealing edges tightly.
Fry the Donuts: Heat oil to 350°F (175°C). Fry donuts seam-side down until golden brown, about 2–3 minutes per side.
Cool and Serve: Drain on paper towels, let cool slightly, and dust with powdered sugar before serving.
Notes
Ensure the edges are tightly sealed to prevent filling leakage during frying.
For a baked version, place the assembled donuts on a lined baking sheet and bake at 350°F for 12–15 minutes.
Experiment with other fillings like blueberry or raspberry preserves for variety.
Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to two days; reheat in the oven for best results.
