Ingredients

  • 2 cups powdered sugar
  • 1/4 cup whole milk
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 tube (16 ounces) prepared biscuit dough
  • Cooking spray
  • Rainbow or chocolate sprinkles, as desired
  • Crumbled cookies, as desired
  • Cinnamon sugar, as desired
  • Mini marshmallows, as desired

Utensils needed

  • 1-inch biscuit cutter
  • Cutting Board
  • Medium Bowl
  • Silicone-Tipped Tongs
  • Whisk

Instructions

Step 1
In a medium bowl, combine powdered sugar, milk, and vanilla extract. Whisk well to create a sugar glaze; set aside.

Step 2
Lay biscuit dough on a cutting board or a clean, flat work surface. Using a 1-inch ring mold, cut a hole in the center of each round of dough. Place dough rounds on a plate and refrigerate for 5 minutes.

Step 3
Install grill grate in unit and close hood. Select GRILL, set temperature to MEDIUM, and set time to 6 minutes. Select START/STOP to begin preheating.

Step 4
After 5 minutes, remove dough rounds from refrigerator and coat with cooking spray on both sides. When the unit beeps to signify it has preheated, place 4 dough rounds on grill grate. Close hood and cook for 3 minutes.

Step 5
After 3 minutes, remove donuts from unit using silicone-tipped tongs. Place remaining 4 dough rounds on grill grate, then close hood and cook for 3 minutes.

Step 6
When cooking is complete, remove donuts from unit using rubber-tipped tongs. Let donuts cool for 5 minutes. 

Step 7
When donuts are cool enough to handle, dunk one side of each in the sugar glaze, being sure to coat liberally and evenly. Place donuts on a plate, glaze-side up, and sprinkle with toppings as desired. Serve immediately.
