    Fry boats in batches in hot oil 1 minute on each side, using tongs to turn boats halfway through, until lightly brown all over. Drain boats upside down on paper towel-lined cookie sheet until slightly cool. If middles of boats are puffed, gently press down with back of spoon. Toss 4 boats at a time in sugar to coat. Remove to cooling rack to cool completely.
