Notes
- This tip is very crucial, before frying the donuts make sure that the oil is hot enough for the donuts. It should not be too hot or too cold. Use a thermometer to check the temperature, it should be 360 degree F.
- Make sure to use clean and fresh oil. Don't over-use the oil, or you will not get the desired result.
- It is very important to fry small batches of donuts, and not all at once. This way you will avoid greasy and uncooked donuts.
- When choosing the topping for the donuts, remember that the dough is not sweet enough. So, you need to cover them with sweet toppings in order to balance out the flavors.
- Try having these delicious donuts in the same day. Since they dry out when kept for the next day.
- If you decided to prepare sugared donuts, make sure to roll them directly after they have been fried.
- Don't over mix the dough.
