- Next, stir in the baking powder, spices, and salt.
- Add flour 1/2 cup at a time until the dough holds together and is not too wet. Add more or less flour as needed.
- Turn dough onto a floured surface and roll to about 1/3 to 1/2-inch thickness.
- Using a lightly floured donut cutter cut out as many donuts and donut holes as possible, re-rolling and re-cutting the scraps.
- Fry doughnuts and holes in batches in the hot oil until lightly browned on one side, about 2-3 minutes. Do not crowd pan.
- Turn and cook for an additional 1 to 2 minutes on the other side. (Holes will cook more quickly.) Remove donuts from the oil with a slotted spoon and drain on paper towel-lined cooling racks.
