It's Doughnut Frying Time!

 

• On a well-floured surface, gently roll out the dough to about 3/8” to 1/2” thickness.
• Use cookie cutters to stamp out whatever shapes you like. I used a 3 1/2″ circle for the large doughnuts with a 1 1/4″ hole. For the minis, I used a 1 1/2″ circle with a 15/16″ hole (all of these cutters come in the same set). Save the holes to fry up as well, or roll the batter out again to make more doughnuts.
• Place the stamped dough on a parchment- or Silpat-lined cookie sheet, cover with plastic, and allow to rise again in a warm spot.
• Once the doughnuts are almost doubled in size (another hour or so), heat oil in a large pot or deep fryer until it reaches 360 F. I strongly prefer to fry in a deep fryer. It keeps everything so much cleaner and perfectly regulates the temperature.
• Fry the doughnuts in batches until golden brown on each side (you'll need to flip them mid-fry). The total frying time will be under 2 minutes. Use tongs to flip and retrieve them.
• Set hot doughnuts on paper towels to absorb extra oil.

 

• Mix all ingredients in a small bowl until smooth.

• Drizzle over piping hot doughnuts.

Oh and keep the cat away – lest you find him (or perhaps yourself) drowned in a heavenly sea of glaze 😉
