Pro Tips to Perfect the 2 Ingredient Mini Donuts
#1: When is the oil hot enough? You can fry a piece of the dough in the oil as a tester. If it sizzles and starts to turn golden, then the oil is ready to fry the mini donuts.
#2: If you are concerned about wasting much oil, you can shallow fry the donuts. But you have to make sure to flip them often. Since they are not floating, they get in contact with the direct heat of the pot. You need to flip them so they do not burn.
#3: Many of us used to toss donuts and run away! If you are scared of putting donuts and getting oil sizzles all around, set the mini donuts in a large slotted spoon or large spiral strainer.
Then, immerse the spoon slowly in the oil. You will notice that the mini doughnuts will float away in seconds.
A Delicious Treat Your Family Will Love!
#4: Should I glaze donuts hot or cold? Well, it is definitely better to glaze donuts when hot especially since you want to serve them as soon as possible. When warm, the mini donuts melt in your mouth.
#5: If you are left with dough that you do not want to shape into donuts, cut and roll them into small balls. Fry and dip them in the cinnamon and vanilla glaze or in the melted chocolate.
Do the same with the dough you get from the middle of each donut. Kids love bite-sized donuts!
#6: If you do not have a mini doughnut cutter, use a small glass. Press it on the dough, then slightly turn it to the right and left to make sure that the dough is cut. You can punch a hole inside using your finger.
