I had a hard time frying these. The oil was new, and I kept it between 365 -370, turned the donuts as they got golden and took them out quickly. But they were still just grease soaked. I drained them on a wire rack immediately. Any ideas? Sorry the frying didn't work as expected, especially after your hard work to make the dough. Bear in mind the oil will cool as doughnuts are added, so frying in small batches works best. The frying method of deep fry (food sinks to the bottom, then raises to the top of the oil) works better than a pan or shallow fry. You might test the oil with a half slice of bread, then test fry one or two doughnuts to see how long they will take to cook in the center as well as brown around outside. If the doughnuts are still grease soaked, increase the temperature slightly and test fry again. I hope these tips help! Irene @ KAF
