Fried Twists



I had saved half the dough from my lemon bun recipe so early Saturday morning, I decided to use it to make doughnuts. The little rings were formed and left to rise with no problems. But when I had to take them up to fry, they all deflated! Oh well, thinking quick, I just decided to make a variation so I ended up with a ring, a braid, a pretzel, a twist and a handful of doughnut balls. All were tossed in granulated sugar except for the small doughnut balls, which had a cinnamon sugar coating. All were delicious though! What a way to start the day - freshly fried dough! But can somebody teach me how to make perfectly risen doughnuts?

Hey wow! You've made a passable version of a "koeksister"!! Only the koeksisters would have been dunked in sugar syrup as soon as they emerged from the oil. Looks really delicious - can't go wrong with fried dough and cinnamon sugar ;-)
