  6. Cover with cling wrap and chill for 1 hour, or until completely chilled
  7. Cut 9 small squares of baking paper approximately 4 inches/10cm in size
  8. Once the dough has chilled fit a piping bag with a large star nozzle and pipe a 3-inch/7.5cm circle onto each square
  9. Fill a large heavy-bottomed pan with vegetable oil and heat it until it reaches 350F/180C
  10. Lower the donuts into the oil, removing the parchment paper after 30 seconds or so
  11. Fry each side for 2-3 minutes or until golden brown
  12. Remove from the oil and drain on a wire rack
