Using a small spoon or your hands break off about 1 Tbsp sized pieces of the donut dough and roll between your hands to form a ball. Use extra flour if the dough is sticking.
Make sure your oil is hot, if you are using a thermometer it should be about 180C / 350F. Place in half the donuts and allow them to fry for about 2-3 minutes or until puffed up and golden brown.
