Instructions

- Take out your deep fryer and pour the oil into it. The temperature of the oil must reach 375° F (180° C)
- Add 3 or four donuts into the deep fryer. As they become golden brown, turn them over to brown the other side.
- Once both sides are golden brown, take them out of the fryer and place on a rack to drain and cool.
