Tips:

- To achieve a crispy crust and perfectly cooked interior, maintain the oil temperature between 350°F and 365°F throughout the frying process. Utilize a thermometer to ensure accurate temperature control. - To prevent sticking, avoid overcrowding the doughnuts in the frying oil. Leave adequate space between each doughnut to allow for proper circulation of the oil and even cooking. - Utilize a slotted spoon or metal strainer to carefully remove doughnuts from the hot oil, ensuring they are thoroughly drained before transferring them to a paper towel-lined plate for excess oil absorption. - For an extra burst of flavor and visual appeal, generously sprinkle your doughnuts with cinnamon sugar immediately after frying, while they are still warm. This coating will adhere perfectly to the doughnuts' surface. - Prioritize freshness by consuming doughnuts within a day or two after preparation. For longer storage, consider freezing the uncoated doughnuts for up to a month. When ready to serve, thaw and then fry or reheat in a preheated oven before coating with cinnamon sugar.
