Donut Preparation

Shape the Donuts
Turn the dough onto a floured surface and roll it out to about 1/2 inch thick. Cut out donuts using a donut cutter or two round cutters. Place the cut donuts on a floured tray.

Fry the Donuts
Heat oil in a deep fryer or large pot to 375°F (190°C). Carefully fry the donuts in batches for about 1-2 minutes on each side, or until golden brown. Remove and drain on paper towels.
