Doughnut Frying

1. Line a large plate with two sheets of kitchen paper.
2. Put the caster sugar into a bowl.
3. Half fill a saucepan with oil and put it over a medium heat.
4. Carefully slip a baked doughnut into the hot oil and cook until brown all over, turning over is necessary. Watch and take care as it can brown very quickly if your oil is too hot.
5. OR cook the baked doughnuts in a deep fat fryer according to the manufacturer’s instructions.
6. Using a slotted spoon or tongs, lift the doughnut out of the oil onto the paper lined plate for excess oil to drain off.
7. Transfer the warm doughnut to the bowl of sugar, turn it over so it is coated in sugar and leave to cool.
8. Repeat the process until all doughnuts have been cooked, drained and dredged in sugar.
