Once batter is chilled, heat large, deep pot of canola oil to 300 F (150 C). use a small metal ice cream scoop to carefully scoop 2 tbsp (30 ml) batter into prepared boiling pot, 6 to 8 small doughnuts at a time. Leave doughnuts in oil for about 4 minutes, until golden in colour. Using a slotted spoon, retrieve doughnuts from hot oil and place on honeyed tray. Swirl doughnuts to coat. Arrange on separate serving plates (3 per person) and serve with prepared Chocolate Dipping Sauce. Drizzle the chocolate sauce over arranged doughnuts and serve balance on the side.
