Ingredients

For the doughnuts:

1 (16.3-ounce) can Grands Homestyle Butter Tastin' Biscuits (8-count)
vegetable oil for frying

For the glaze:

3 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
1 1/2 cups powdered sugar
1/2 teaspoon vanilla
2 1/2 tablespoons warm water

For the Cream Filling:

1 cup marshmallow cream
1 1/2 cups powdered sugar
1/4 cup unsalted butter, softened
1/2 teaspoon vanilla
1/2 to 2 teaspoons water

Instructions

For the doughnuts, put about 3/4" of oil in the bottom of a large, heavy dutch oven and heat over medium heat. Bring the oil to about 325°F.
Separate the biscuits. If making doughnuts with holes, cut a hole in each one with a small biscuit cutter or with something like a shot glass.
Once the oil is hot, fry the doughnuts until lightly golden then flip them over and cook the other side. Do the same with the holes.
Drain them on paper towels.
Combine ingredients for glaze in a bowl and mix well. You may have to add more sugar or more water to get the right consistency.
While doughnuts are still warm, dunk one of side of each of the doughnuts in the glaze and invert it on a wire rack, so the glaze will run down the sides. Do the same with the holes.

For cream filled doughnuts:

For the cream filling, combine the marshmallow cream, powdered sugar, butter, and vanilla; mix well. This will take some elbow grease, but the water helps. Slowly stir in the water in small increments to get the right consistency. The amount you need will vary. You can use a hand mixer here as well.
Once the doughnuts are cool and the glaze has started to harden, use a skewer, chopstick, or the end of a wooden spoon to make a hole in each one and move the stick around inside to make a cavity for the filling.
Put the cream in a pastry bag or zip-top bag with the corner snipped off and fill the doughnuts with the cream filling.
