Drop spoonfuls of the dough into the hot oil, frying a few at a time

Cook until they turn golden brown, about 2-3 minutes per side

Remove the donuts using a slotted spoon and place them on paper towels to drain excess oil

In a small bowl, mix together powdered sugar and 2 tablespoons of maple syrup to make the glaze

Dip each donut into the maple glaze, letting the excess drip off, and place them on a wire rack to set
