do not crowd the frying process - you must keep your fat temp high enough
to cook them quickly. I also suggest you get a good fat thermometer if
you don't have one already. And, finally, are you letting them rise
long enough? this one comes from experience, but, especially when making
the old fashioned cake type of donut, you must let them rise to just double
the original size, and it may take longer than the cookbook says depending
on your home temp and humidity - also, make sure they are covered with
a lightweight, slightly damp dish towel so they don't dry out....
not knowing exactly what type you are making, these are a few things to
check for. try the fat temp first, however, as it has the most impact.
