Heat the Oil
In a large, deep pot or heavy frying pan, heat the vegetable oil over medium heat until it reaches 350°F (175°C).

Shape the Donuts
Using a piping bag fitted with a large star tip, fill the bag with the chilled dough. Pipe donuts directly into the hot oil, using scissors to cut the dough off at the desired length.

Drain and Coat
Once fried, remove the donuts from the oil and let them drain on paper towels. In a shallow bowl, mix 1 cup of granulated sugar with 2 tablespoons of cinnamon, then roll the warm donuts in the mixture to coat.
