Transfer to large bowl. Add 3 cups flour and mix well. Use your hand to knead the dough for a few minutes, and shape it into a big ball. Cover with plastic wrap. Let the dough rise until it doubles in size, usually about 1 hour.
Once rised, knead dough for a few minutes. Put the 2 tablespoons of your dusting flour on your work surface. Divide the dough into 16 equal pieces. Take a piece of dough and roll it out back and forth in your palms so it forms a rope 10 inches long and 1/2 inch in diameter. Fold in half & bring the ends together. Securing tightly at the end. Now twist them up 3 or 4 times. Set aside, continues til all are done. Cover. Let the doughnuts expand for another 30 minutes. 15 minutes in, gently flip each doughnut over, so the bottoms don’t get flat and all sides expand nice and round.
Get you oil to 350F I like to use a shallow cast iron pan you don’t need much oil 2-3 inches. Deep fry about 2 1/2minutes per side. Flipping frequently so it gets nice color on all sides.
Coat them with cinnamon/sugar a couple minutes after out of the fryer. I did half with a chocolate glaze. Microwave your chocolate sauce for 1 minute. Stir, then microwave another 30 seconds if needed. The donuts I glaze I let them cool down atleast 10 minutes before smooching them into the chocolate nutty glaze just on one side.These are best served warm, the day off. But are great on day 2 too! They freeze good as well. This is an excellent donut recipe. We can’t wait to here what you think
