Pillsbury® Donuts
• Cinnamon Sugar – Mix 2 lbs granulated sugar and 1 oz cinnamon. Drain fried
donuts, roll warm donuts in mixture until completely covered.
• Coconut & Jelly – Place warm donut into jelly of choice and cover completely.
Remove donut from jelly and cover with coconut. Donut may be glazed and then
dipped into coconut.
• Chocolate Icing – Warm Chocolate icing and dip donut into frosting on topside
only. Dip half of donut into sprinkles, nuts, etc for a nice appearance.
• White Icing – Warm and dip top side of donut into icing. Dip entire donut into
sprinkles or nuts or dip half of donut for a nice effect.
• Caramel Icing – Warm icing and dip donut, long john, bismark or cinnamon roll
into caramel icing. Top with toasted coconut, butterscotch crunch or nuts of
choice. Ice pershing with caramel icing and top with peanuts for a crowd favorite.
• Tiger Stripe – After dipping donut into white icing, let set up 5-10 minutes and
string ice with chocolate or caramel icing. Use opposite colors for a nice
appearance.
• Mocha Sugar – Mix 2 lbs granulated sugar, 1 oz cocoa, 1 teaspoon instant
coffee. Roll warm donuts in mixture until completely covered.
• Powdered Sugar – Mix 1 lb powdered sugar, 4 oz granulated sugar & 4 oz
cornstarch. Allow donuts to cool completely, roll donut into mixture until well
covered.
• Glaze Donuts and while glaze is still tacky, dip into coconut, crushed breakfast
cereals, nuts or sprinkles.
• Peanut Butter Donuts – Add crunchy or smooth peanut butter to white roll
icing and ice top side of donut.
• Desired flavor may be obtained by putting a small amount of flavoring into glaze
and adding a few drops of the proper food coloring. Fruitone or concentrated fruit
may be used instead of flavoring or coloring.

Thawing Instructions
for Frozen Dough
The two basic methods to properly thaw our bake-off products
are described below.
Quick Method
• Remove product from freezer at least one hour prior to use or
until dough is pliable or stretchable to form into desired shape
and size. Be sure to avoid crusting (cover if necessary).
• Product should be at an internal temperature of 50–55ºF
using a dough thermometer prior to placing in proof box.
Slow Method
• Remove product, place product on pans with parchment
paper. Put on rack and cover with rack cover to avoid
moisture loss causing less shelf life.
• Retard overnight (8-15 HOURS) at 35ºF-39ºF, NOT to
exceed 15 hours.
• Remove and follow handling instructions.
Note: The Slow Method is the best and
preferred way of thawing.
