Makes: 30 doughnuts
Time to prepare: 20 minutes prep + 1 3/4 hour resting + 15 minutes frying
Ingredients
1 batch Sweet dough rested for 1 hour
2 cups peanut oil for frying

sugar for coating

optional filling (consider jam)
Directions
Turn out the dough onto a lightly floured counter
Form into tight balls weighing about 1 ounce each. Place on a lightly oiled baking sheet and allow to rise for 45 minutes, until they have doubled in size
Heat the oil to 350F
Fry in small batches for about 2 minutes per side (they get top heavy as they cook so they can be flipped to the other ‘side’). Pay more attention to colour than time.
blot on paper towel and roll in the sugar
