  8. Coat a large bowl with oil, add dough, turn to coat all sides, cover with plastic wrap and set aside in a warm place to rise for about an hour or until doubled in size
  9. Roll dough out to about 3//4 inch thick square on a well-floured surface
  10. Cover a large baking sheet with parchment paper then generously sprinkly with flour and add powdered sugar to a bowl
  11. Use a biscuit cutter to cut dough into circles and set on prepared baking sheet
  12. Cover with a clean linen towel and let rise in a warm place for 30 - 45 minutes or until about doubled in size
  13. Heat oil in a large Dutch oven to 365 degrees
  14. Carefully and in batches add dough to hot oil and fry for about two minutes on each side
