Ingredients
refrigerated buttermilk biscuits

1/2 cup (Your preferred flavor)
egg
1 (Beaten, for egg wash)
oil
for frying (Vegetable or canola oil recommended)
Instructions
1
In a deep frying pan or pot, heat oil to 350°F (175°C). Ensure there is enough oil to fully submerge the doughnuts.
2
While the oil is heating, take each buttermilk biscuit and flatten it out in your palm until it's almost translucent for a lighter texture.
3
On 10 of the flattened biscuits, place about 2 teaspoons of your favorite jelly or jam in the center.
4
Using a brush, gently apply the beaten egg around the edges of the jellied biscuits to help seal in the filling.
5
Carefully place the remaining 10 flattened biscuits on top of the jelly-filled ones, pressing down firmly around the edges to secure the filling.
6
Once the oil is hot, gently drop the doughnuts into the oil, frying a few at a time to avoid overcrowding. Fry until they are golden brown on both sides, roughly 1-2 minutes per side.
7
Using a slotted spoon, remove the doughnuts and place them on paper towels to drain excess oil.
