Puff Pastry Doughnuts
The easiest and most delightful doughnut recipe you'll ever try! Puff Pastry Doughnuts are flaky, golden, and utterly irresistible, ready in just 25 minutes.
Ingredients
- 1 sheet puff pastry thawed
- Vegetable oil for frying
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon optional, for cinnamon sugar
- Powdered sugar glaze, or your favorite toppings, for dusting or dipping
Instructions
- Gently unfold your thawed puff pastry sheet on a lightly floured surface.
- Using a doughnut cutter or cookie cutters, cut out doughnut shapes from the puff pastry. You should get about 6-8 doughnuts.
- Pour about 2-3 inches of vegetable oil into a heavy-bottomed pot or deep frying pan. Heat the oil over medium heat to 350°F (175°C).
- Carefully place the puff pastry doughnuts into the hot oil, a few at a time. Fry for about 1-2 minutes on each side, until golden brown.
- Remove the fried doughnuts with a slotted spoon and place them on a plate lined with paper towels to drain excess oil.
- While the doughnuts are still warm, toss them in cinnamon sugar or dust them generously with powdered sugar. Alternatively, dip them in your favorite glaze.
