Classic Old Fashioned Doughnuts

I’ve made baked old fashioned doughnuts before. They were delicious, but I wanted to try making real deal old fashioned doughnuts, frying and all.

You guys, these do not disappoint. Get over your fear of frying, because homemade old fashioned doughnuts may be even better than the ones I waited in line for at a local shop.
