  • 1/4 teaspoon kosher (coarse) salt
  • 1/2 cup icing sugar

    In deep fryer or 2-quart heavy saucepan, heat oil over medium heat to 350°F.

    Separate crescent dough into 4 rectangles. Firmly press perforations to seal. Stack 2 rectangles on top of one another. Fold in half widthwise to make tall stack. Repeat with remaining 2 rectangles.

    To make 2 doughnuts, use 3-inch biscuit cutter to cut 1 round from each stack; use 1/2-inch biscuit cutter to cut small hole in centre of each round. Reroll remaining dough to cut third doughnut.
