Ingredients
- 1 can (8 rolls) Crescent roll dough
- 4 cups Vegetable oil
- 1 cup Jam or chocolate hazelnut spread
- 0.5 cup Powdered sugar
- 2 tablespoons Milk or cream
- 0.5 teaspoon Vanilla extract
Directions
Step 1
Open the can of crescent roll dough and carefully unroll it onto a clean surface, keeping the triangles intact.
Step 2
Pinch the perforations between triangles together to create an even sheet of dough. If needed, use a rolling pin to smooth it out.
Step 3
Use a round cookie cutter (about 2.5 inches in diameter) to cut circles out of the dough. Pair up the circles to make a top and bottom for each doughnut.
Step 4
Place 1-2 teaspoons of jam or chocolate hazelnut spread in the center of half of the dough circles, ensuring not to spread to the edges.
Step 5
Brush a small amount of milk or cream around the edges of the filled circles to serve as a seal.
Step 6
Place the remaining dough circles on top of the filled ones, pressing gently around the edges to seal. Use the tines of a fork to crimp the edges securely.
Step 7
In a deep, heavy-bottomed pot or electric fryer, heat the vegetable oil to 350°F (175°C). Use a thermometer to maintain the correct temperature.
Step 8
Carefully lower 2-3 doughnuts into the hot oil at a time, frying for 1-2 minutes on each side, or until golden brown. Do not overcrowd the pot.
Step 9
Using a slotted spoon, transfer the fried doughnuts to a paper towel-lined plate to drain the excess oil.
Step 10
In a small bowl, whisk together the powdered sugar, vanilla extract, and 1-2 teaspoons of milk to create a glaze. Add more milk for a thinner glaze or more powdered sugar for a thicker consistency.
Step 11
Drizzle the glaze over the warm doughnuts or lightly dust them with extra powdered sugar for a classic look.
Step 12
Serve warm and enjoy your homemade filled crescent roll doughnuts!
