Honey Cream Cheese Filled Blueberry Doughnut Holes

That's quite a mouthful, huh? Try saying that WITH a mouthful of these yummy little puffs of doughnut! I bet you can't eat just one! I couldn't...

So you know when you have a lot going on in your day, it's late as heck, and you're thinking, "I need to get lunch prepared, the baby still needs to get put to bed, I need to iron something, I have to... DOUGHNUTS!" Yes, that literally happened... I ignored all my wifely duties that night (for a little while, anyway), went to my refrigerator, pulled out a canister of Pillsbury Blueberry Biscuits, poured oil into a saucepan and started working! I had already had in mind that I was going to make these someday that week, but I was compelled... Once I got this idea going, I just couldn't stop myself! Well I will stop rambling now and give you the easy (thanks to the prepared Pillsbury biscuits!) recipe for these little puffs of yum...

What you need:

1 Canister Pillsbury Blueberry Biscuit Dough
2 Cups of Oil
4 oz Cream Cheese (any kind), Softened
1 Tbsp Honey
1/4 Cup Confectioner's Sugar
1 Tsp Milk

Method:

Mix your softened cream cheese with honey until well blended and set aside. Next, use a pizza cutter (or a good sharp knife) to cut biscuits into quarters. While you are cutting your biscuits, begin heating your oil on medium/high heat until it shimmers.

Spoon cream cheese into a cake pop filler (I just happened to have one on hand!) or fill a disposable cake decorator bag or sandwich bag with the tip/corner cut off. You will be using this to squeeze the cream cheese onto your doughnut holes.

Spread out a quarter of the dough to make it a little thin, but not so much that it tears. Squeeze some cream cheese onto the dough, about the size of a half inch ball, then fold in each corner to cover the cream cheese mixture. Roll in your hands to create a ball. You can spread out the dough and then fill each one to make it go faster, it's up to you. I found that it was a quicker method to follow.

When all of your doughnut holes are filled, drop a few at a time into the oil. These brown up pretty quickly, so make sure you have a fork or slotted spoon to flip them over, wait a little bit, and bring them out. The entire frying process for about 4 holes at a time was a total of 2-3 minutes, so about a minute and a half on each side per hole. More than anything, you just have to watch them to make sure they don't get super browned. A couple of them came out a bit doughy, but most fried all the way through.

Place on a napkin to absorb any oil.

In a small bowl, mix 1/4 cup of confectioner's sugar and milk until you have a glaze, adding a little more milk if needed. Drizzle your doughnut holes with the glaze or eat without. Enjoy!

Thank you so much for looking, now go bake (or fry!) up some YUM!
