Ingredients
1 cup Nutella
1 can refrigerated biscuit dough or crescent roll dough (8 count)
2 cups vegetable oil for frying
0.5 cup powdered sugar
Instructions
1. Separate the dough and flatten each piece into a round disk.
2. Place 1 teaspoon of Nutella in the center of each dough piece.
3. Fold the dough over the filling and pinch edges to seal, then shape into balls.
4. Freeze the balls for 10 minutes to firm up.
5. Heat oil in a deep pan to 350°F.
6. Fry the dumplings in batches for 2-3 minutes until golden.
7. Remove and drain on paper towels.
8. Dust with powdered sugar and serve warm.
Notes
Don’t skip the freeze step—it prevents leaking Nutella while frying.
Serve immediately for the gooey center; reheating in an air fryer restores crispiness best.
