TEST KITCHEN TIP: To make whole donuts, cut a hole in the middle of each biscuit to make a donut shape. Prepare for draining the donuts by arranging a wire rack with a cookie sheet, tray or wax paper underneath for easier clean up. Carefully slide donuts into hot oil. Fry, turning with tongs, until golden brown on both sides, about 2 minutes each side. Follow directions above for coating.
