Quick Doughnuts with Anise Sugar and Orange Marmalade
- Canola oil, for frying
- 1 cup sugar
- 1 tablespoon anise seed
- Two 16.3-ounce tubes Pillsbury Grands! refrigerated buttermilk biscuit dough
- 1 cup orange marmalade
- Heat 3 inches of oil to 325F in a countertop electric fryer or deep pot.
- 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.
- If bubbles circle around the end, then youre good to go.
- In a medium bowl, combine the sugar and anise seed.
- Open the tubes of biscuits and pull the individual pieces apart to give you 16 doughnuts.
- Fry a couple of pieces at a time, keeping an eye on maintaining the oil temperature.
- As the doughnuts puff up and rise to the surface, flip them over with a slotted spoon, skimmer, or chopsticks.
- They should take roughly 2 minutes on each side.
- Carefully remove the doughnuts from the oil and transfer directly into the bowl of anise sugar, tossing to coat evenly.
- Fit a small pastry bag with a large tip and fill with the orange marmalade.
- Poke a hole into the middle of each doughnut with the tip and pipe the marmalade inside the doughnuts to fill.
- These are best served warm.
