Tips & Tricks

  1. Ensure the yeast is fresh for best results. Proofing the yeast in warm water beforehand can help activate it.

  2. Do not overcrowd the pan while frying to maintain the oil temperature.

  3. Adjust the amount of milk in the glaze to achieve the desired consistency.

  4. For a richer flavor, use melted butter instead of softened butter in the dough.

FAQS

  1. Can I use a different type of flour?

    All-purpose flour works best for this recipe, but you can substitute with bread flour for a chewier texture.

  2. How do I store leftover doughnuts?

    Store leftover doughnuts in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days. For longer storage, refrigerate them.

  3. Can I bake these doughnuts instead of frying?

    Yes, you can bake them at 350°F (175°C) for about 12-15 minutes, or until golden brown.

  4. Can I make the dough ahead of time?

    Yes, you can prepare the dough, let it rise, and then refrigerate it overnight. Bring it to room temperature before rolling and frying.

  5. What can I use instead of Nutella?
