Pour cooking oil into a deep fryer or large pot.

Heat oil to medium heat. Do NOT bring to a boil.

In large bowl, add donut mix. Stir in milk or water. Stir until uniform.

Coat hands with oil or flour. Scooping one tablespoon at a time, form batter into desired donut shapes.

Carefully place formed donuts one at a time, into heated oil. Fry about two minutes on each side or until golden brown.

Drain and cool completely on cooking rack.
