Fry the doughnuts

Fill a large pot with about 2 inches of vegetable oil and heat it to 375°F (190°C). While the oil is heating, roll out the dough on a floured surface to a 1/2-inch thickness. Use a doughnut cutter or a round cookie cutter to cut out doughnut shapes. Carefully place the doughnuts into the hot oil, cooking them for about 2-3 minutes per side or until golden brown. Use a slotted spoon or tongs to transfer the cooked doughnuts to a paper towel-lined plate.
