Ingredients

  • 12 yeast dinner rolls, Rhodes brand recommended
  • vegetable oil, for frying
  • 1/4 cup granulated white sugar
  • 1 teaspoon cinnamon

Method

  1. Stir the sugar and cinnamon together in a small bowl and set the cinnamon sugar aside.
  2. Arrange the dinner rolls on a parchment-lined baking tray, spaced apart in four rows of three, and leave them in a warm place for 3 to 4 hours to thaw and rise.
  3. Heat a few inches of vegetable oil in a deep pan over medium heat until it reaches 325°F.
  4. Fry the risen dough in batches so the pan is not crowded, about 2 minutes on each side, until golden all over.
  5. Lift the donuts out with a slotted spoon to drain off the excess oil and roll each one in the cinnamon sugar while it is warm, then serve them at once.
