Cooks' note:

Doughnuts can be fried (but not dredged in ginger sugar) 4 hours ahead and cooled completely, then kept in an airtight container at room temperature. Reheat undredged doughnuts on a baking sheet in a preheated 250°F oven 10 to 15 minutes, then cool slightly and dredge in ginger sugar.
