Enough flour to make dough to roll out, or handle easily.

Roll out dough and cut with doughnut cutter. Fry in hot oil or melted shortening at 375 degrees in deep, large skillet or electric fry pan or deep fryer. Test shortening to see if hot enough by dropping a doughnut hole in the fat first. When cool, roll doughnuts in powdered or granulated sugar.
