  After they have doubled in size start heating your oil to 350 degrees. Squirt your dulce the leche in a bowl so you can dunk your doughnuts in there. Depending on how big your pot is, place 3-4 doughnuts in the oil and let them fry for about 50 seconds on each side until they are golden brown. Place on wire rack to drain the oil and dunk in dulce de leche while they are still warm. Repeat the process until all the doughnuts are done and enjoy.
