FAQS

  1. How do I store leftover doughnuts?

    Store leftover doughnuts in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days. For longer storage, freeze them and reheat when ready to eat.

  2. Can I use different types of flour?

    All-purpose flour works best for these doughnuts. You can experiment with other types, but the texture may vary.
