directions

  • Pour equal parts of vegetable oil and olive oil into a large frying pan to reach a depth of 2 inches.
  • Heat the oil over medium heat until a deep-fry thermometer registers 375 degrees F.
  • Roll out the dough on a lightly floured surface to 1/2-inch thickness.
  • Using a floured 2-inch cookie cutter, cut out doughnut rounds.
  • Using a floured 1-inch cookie cutter, cut out a hole in the center of each doughnut.
  • Gather the dough scraps and re-roll to cut out more doughnuts.
  • Whisk the sugar and cinnamon in a medium bowl to blend.
  • Set the cinnamon-sugar aside.
  • When the oil is hot, working in batches, fry the doughnuts until they puff but are still pale, about 45 seconds per side.
  • Using a slotted spoon, transfer the doughnuts to paper towels to drain. Cool slightly.
  • While the doughnuts are still warm, add to the bowl with cinnamon-sugar and generously coat each 2 times with the cinnamon-sugar.
  • Serve warm.
  • Alternately, cool the fried doughnuts to room temperature.
  • Stir 3 ounces milk chocolate and 1/4 cup whipping cream in a heavy small saucepan over medium-low heat until the chocolate melts.
  • Set aside until the chocolate sauce comes to room temperature but does not set.
  • Dip 1 side of each doughnut into the chocolate mixture.
  • Sprinkle with finely chopped toasted almonds or crushed espresso beans and set aside until the chocolate is set.
