Apple Cider Donuts

Step 10 Preheat the oil

Attach your candy thermometer to a deep baking dish (or large pot).

Fill your baking dish with 2" of oil and heat over a burner on a medium flame. Your goal is to heat the oil to between 350 and 375 degrees.

While the oil heats, you can cut out your doughnuts (see step 11).

I bet you 100% that the donuts you used to get were not fried in vegie oil. Yuck.

If you want them to taste even better, use lard. You can't get a better flavor out of a donut without using lard to fry them.

What's 350-375 in Celcius?

It is. When deep frying things the oil should be a maximum of 1/3 of the pan (1/3 oil, 2/3 air) and the pan should be deep as well. a pasta pot usually works well with this.
