Let doughnuts rise for 30-60 minutes then fry in hot oil (365-375°F) until browned on both sides and cooked through. Remove from hot oil using a slotted spoon and drain on paper towels.

Notes: Grandma would make these for us kids when we came up to visit her. This is where my love for doughnuts came from. I made them 2 times in my life, but mine never tasted like the one my Grandma B made me. Miss you Grandma.
