Step 1
Unroll crescent dough and separate into 8 triangles. Roll each into a ball, then flatten into a 2-inch disk.
Step 2
Use a small measuring spoon or straw to poke a hole in the center of each disk. Gently enlarge into a donut ring.
Step 3
Heat oil in a deep skillet or pot to 350°F. Use a thermometer to check—don't guess.
Step 4
Carefully slide 2–3 donuts into the hot oil. Fry 60 seconds per side until golden brown.
Step 5
Lift donuts out with a slotted spoon and place on a paper-towel-lined plate.
Step 6
Repeat with remaining donuts in batches, maintaining oil temperature around 350°F.
Step 7
Whisk powdered sugar, butter, vanilla, and milk in a small bowl until smooth and pourable.
Step 8
Dip warm donuts into glaze, turning to coat both sides. Set on a wire rack to set.
