Ingredients
- 1 package store-bought biscuits
- Vegetable oil, for frying
- 2 tablespoons ground cinnamon
- 2 tablespoons ground nutmeg
- 2 tablespoons ground ginger
- 2 tablespoons powdered sugar
- Sugar glaze:
- 1 cup powdered sugar
- 1/2 cup milk
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 360 degrees F.
- Divide each biscuit into 4 pieces and roll each piece into a ball. Add to hot oil and fry until golden brown. Remove the nuggets to a paper towel lined plate to soak up some of the oil.
- In a large paper bag combine the cinnamon, nutmeg, ginger, and powdered sugar. Add the nuggets to the bag and shake to coat. Place the warm nuggets onto a platter.
- In a small bowl add the powdered sugar and slowly pour in the milk until the glaze is smooth and at the desired consistency. Drizzle the glaze over the nuggets and serve.

I made two batches. One by the recipe, and one with a more reasonable amount of spices. My version was better. In the video, Guy’s looked like they were barely coated, while the recipe version was dark brown and bitter. I agree with an earlier poster that the glaze isn’t necessary.
Just saw this on TV. This quick easy version was also done by Paula Deen on one of her shows as well as a few others shows. Nice to see Guy’s take on a recipe that is always circulating. I believe Pillsbury has a recipe for this on their website as well. Have made these several times. It is all about the oil temperature for sure. They are good when cooked all the way through and not doughy. I use Grand like another poster too.
I loved these! It was fun to make! A few of them are a little doughy, but overall they turned out well! I only used cinnamon and sugar to coat them.
I really liked these “Do Nuggets”. I have failed miserably at making donuts before in the past, but this recipe made me a winner today. Thanks Guy.
very simple and a tasty treat.
We just made a hole in the biscuit and then fryed them also, and served a 100 friends in our RV park in South FL. Awesome
Guy, we made these this morning and they are absolute yumminess!!! Thanks for the great recipe.
These came out very well, but I just watched the show and there are some differences between what Guy actually did and the directions on the website. The main thing mentioned is that you are supposed to preheat to 360 degrees. First of all, there is no oven involved, only heating the oil. Secondly, he made sure that his oil was no hotter than 350 degrees. If the oil is too hot, they will burn on the outside and be gooey on the inside. Watch out for that. This is the second time that I have seen a recipe but written differently than what the chef actually did on the show. So, if you can watch the shows. That way, you’ll be sure to get the right one. If you miss one on TV, you can rewatch them on the webite. Good luck!
I HAPPENED TO WANT A LATE LATE NIGHT SNACK AND SAW THE DO NUGGETS AND DECIDED TO TRY THEM OUT.. MY FIRST FOUR NUGGETS WERENT DONE IN THE MIDDLE BUT VERY CRISPY ON THE OUTSIDE SO I DECIDED TO LOWER THE HEAT AND AFTER THAT THEY WERE CRISPY ON THE OUTSIDE AND NICE AND FLUFFY ON THE INSIDE.. I DIDNT USE THE GINGER OR NUTMEG, ONLY CINNAMON AND REGULAR SUGAR AND I THOUGHT THAT WAS GREAT. AND I ADDED BUTTERY SYRUP INSTEAD OF THE GLAZE AND THEY WERE DELICIOUS.. NICE ONE GUY..
Guy, you plainly said the cinnamon should be the primarily spice, the nutmeg less so, and the ginger used lightly as it was a strong spice and could be overwhelming. The printed recipe calls for 2 Tablespoons, each. I love your recipes and all your shows. I hate to think of someone trying to prepare the printed version and blaming you for the outcome. You get an A; your transcriber gets an F!
