Categories     Low Protein

Time 30m

Yield 1 batch, 4-8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 8

2 cups vegetable oil
1 (8 ounce) can Pillsbury Refrigerated Crescent Dinner Rolls
1 snack-size container vanilla pudding (4 oz)
2 tablespoons caramel sauce
1/4 teaspoon kosher salt (coarse)
1/2 cup powdered sugar
milk
additional caramel sauce, if desired

Steps:

  • In deep fryer or 2-quart heavy saucepan, heat oil over medium heat to 325°F
  • Separate crescent dough into 4 rectangles. Firmly press perforations to seal. Stack 2 rectangles on top of one another. Fold in half widthwise to make tall stack. Repeat with remaining 2 rectangles.
  • To make 2 doughnuts, use 3-inch biscuit cutter to cut 1 round from each stack; use 1/2-inch biscuit cutter to cut small hole in center of each round. Reroll remaining dough to cut third doughnut.
  • Fry doughnuts in hot oil 2 1/2 minutes on each side or until deep golden brown and cooked through. Drain on paper towels. Cool 5 minutes.
  • Carefully split doughnuts in half. Place pudding in decorating bag fitted with tip, and pipe half of the pudding onto bottom half of each doughnut.
  • Top each with some of the caramel sauce; sprinkle with salt. Cover each with top of doughnut. In small bowl, mix powdered sugar and enough milk for spreading consistency. Spread on tops of doughnuts. Drizzle with additional caramel sauce.

I'm not a big fan of doughnuts, but these were actually really good. The dough was light and fluffy and the caramel sauce was rich and decadent.

I love the idea of using crescent dough to make doughnuts. It's so much easier than making dough from scratch.

I'm not sure why, but my doughnuts didn't turn out as fluffy as I expected. Maybe I didn't let them rise long enough?

These doughnuts are a great way to use up leftover Pillsbury dough. They're also a fun and easy treat to make with kids.

The salted caramel sauce is the perfect topping for these doughnuts. It's sweet and salty and it pairs perfectly with the fluffy dough.

These doughnuts were a bit too greasy for my taste. I think I would drain them on paper towels next time.

I'm not a big fan of salted caramel, but these doughnuts were still really good. The dough was light and fluffy, and the chocolate glaze was rich and decadent.

I had some trouble getting the doughnuts to rise properly. I think I might have overproofed them. But even though they didn't look perfect, they still tasted great.

These doughnuts were a little too sweet for my taste, but my kids loved them. I think I would use less sugar in the caramel sauce next time.
