- Dust a clean counter/table with flour.
- Divide the dough in half and roll the dough to 1/2 inch thickness.
- Cut the doughnuts using a 3-3.5 inch cookie cutter/ donut cutter. You can also use two different sized lids for cutting the outer and inner circle of the dough.
- Heat oil in a pot up to 185 C. Be very careful when handling hot oil.
- Working with 2-3 donuts at a time, cook for 1 minute on each side on medium flame, until they get golden brown.

- Glaze the donuts with melted white, dark or milk chocolate and add some sprinkles on top.

Notes
TIPS
- Have all the ingredients at room temperature. This helps with better mixing.
- The donut dough is on the stickier side. Do not add a lot of extra flour to make it dry while kneading.
- When combining the wet and dry ingredients, mix just until the dough comes together. Overmixing can result in tough donuts.
- Rest the dough for at least 30-40 min so the leavening agents get activated and we get soft fluffy donuts.
- Highly recommend using a thermometer to ensure the frying oil is at the right cooking temperature which is usually between 185-190C. This guarantees evenly cooked and crispy donuts. The oil will be VERY hot, so please be careful while frying donuts.
- Fry only 2-3 donuts at a time to prevent overcrowding and maintain consistent oil temperature.
- Make sure the donuts are completely cool before glazing, or the glaze will melt off.
These donuts are best enjoyed on the same day. But if you have leftovers, you can store them at room temperature for 2 days in an airtight container.
You can also store them in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.
FREEZING
You can also freeze these fried donuts. Make sure they are cooled completely and then freeze for up to 2-3 months.
To freeze donuts, individually wrap them in plastic wrap or aluminum foil. Then place them in an airtight container or resealable freezer bag.
When ready to enjoy, let them thaw at room temperature for a few hours or warm them up in a low-temperature oven.
