Roll out the dough on a flat surface. The dough should be about one centimeter thick. Using a cup or glass, cut out circles from the dough. With the cap from a plastic bottle, make a hole in the center of each circle. Try to keep the edges of the circles even and smooth.

Step 3
Pour vegetable oil into a deep pot. The layer of oil should be several centimeters thick so that the doughnuts fry in deep fat. Heat the oil and add the dough rounds. Fry the doughnuts for about two minutes on each side.
