  4. Add to liquid ingredients; mix just enough to combine.
  5. Transfer dough to lightly floured board and pat to 1/2-inch thickness.

  7. Add enough oil or shortening to fill a deep pan 3 inches; heat to 375'F.
  8. Fry several doughnuts at a time without crowding pan, turning once or twice, until browned and cooked through, about 4 minutes.
