How to Deep-Fry Canned Sweet Rolls (4 Steps)

Take canned sweet rolls up a notch by deep-frying them in hot oil instead of baking them. Frying the dough puffs it up, making it light and airy before being rolled in a layer of sugar for an indulgent treat. The dough should be cut in halves or quartered to make them bite-sized and easy to fry. The most common type of canned sweet roll dough you'll find in the grocery store are cinnamon rolls, though orange sweet roll varieties can sometimes be found as well. Enjoy the deep-fried sweet rolls hot with your favorite type of icing.

Things You'll Need

Table knife
Deep saucepan

Canola or vegetable oil
Instant read thermometer

Instructions

Open the can of sweet roll dough and pull them apart. Cut each one in half or in quarters with a table knife.
Fill a deep saucepan at about 3/4 of the way with canola or vegetable oil and bring to a temperature of about 350 degrees Fahrenheit. Use a instant-read thermometer to determine the temperature.
Place the halved or quartered canned sweet rolls in the hot oil in batches, being careful not to overcrowd the pot. Allow them to fry for 30 seconds in the hot oil, until they are golden brown.
Remove the fried rolls from the hot oil with a slotted spoon and place in a bag of sugar or a cinnamon and sugar mix. Close the bag and shake vigorously to coat each fried sweet roll vigorously. Enjoy the fried sweet rolls hot, with a powdered sugar icing or chocolate icing.
