Simple Sugar Donuts

You can make these doughnuts any size you want. You can use a doughnut cutter or two cookie cutters, large and small, and then place them on the baking sheet. Cover the dough with plastic wrap and let it rise again until doubled, which will take half an hour and an hour.

While the doughnuts are rising, heat your oil because you will be deep-frying them. Be very careful when using hot oil. You will need a large pot like a Dutch oven and a pit about 2 inches, which is 5 centimetres, of oil. Heat the oil on medium-high heat, and it will take about 20 minutes to bring the oil up to 375 degrees Fahrenheit. Use a candy thermometer for this.

To gently fry the doughnuts, put them in the oil and don’t overcrowd the pot. It will take 30 to 60 seconds per side for the doughnuts to fry to a golden brown. Then, remove them from the oil and place them on a paper towel-lined plate. Cover the cooked doughnuts on a plate with granulated white sugar until very well coated, then serve warm. The outside of these doughnuts is nice and crisp, and the sugary coating is out of this world.
