For best results, use a deep-fry thermometer to maintain the correct oil temperature. If the oil is too hot, the doughnuts will brown too quickly on the outside and remain doughy inside. If the oil is not hot enough, the doughnuts will absorb too much oil. Do not overcrowd the pot when frying, as this will lower the oil temperature and result in greasy doughnuts. Chilling the dough is crucial for easy handling and prevents the doughnuts from becoming too dense. For a glaze variation, whisk together powdered sugar with milk or lemon juice until smooth. Dip the cooled doughnuts in the glaze and let set.
