Pinch off a piece of dough and roll into a walnut size ball. Alternatively you can roll the dough to 1 inch thickness on a well floured surface and cut out 2 inch circles.

Heat around 2-3 inches of oil over medium heat in a heavy bottomed pan or cast iron pot until 350F. Drop several balls into the hot oil and allow to golden up on one side before turning for the other side to fry. Do not overcrowd as the donuts expand when they fry. Once golden on both sides, remove donuts with a slotted spoon to a paper towel lined plate. Allow to cool just slightly and dust with powdered sugar rolling the donuts to allow them to be coated completely.
