Preparation

Step 1

1 In deep fryer or 2-quart heavy saucepan, heat oil over medium heat to 350°F. Separate dough into 8 biscuits. Using small round cookie cutter, cut hole in center of each biscuit.

2 Gently place 2 or 3 biscuits in hot oil. (Biscuit holes can also be fried!) Fry on one side until golden brown. Gently turn with tongs; fry until other side is golden brown. Place on cooling rack; cool 3 to 5 minutes.

3 Meanwhile, in small bowl, mix sugar and ginger; pour onto plate. While doughnuts are still warm, place in ginger-sugar; turn to coat.

Expert Tips:

To make cinnamon-sugar doughnuts, replace ground ginger with ground cinnamon.

Don’t forget the doughnut holes. Fry separately until golden brown, then roll in ginger-sugar.

Instead of using plate, add sugar and ground ginger to brown paper bag. Then add warm doughnuts and give them a shake to coat.
