Homemade Doughnuts

Serve the doughnuts fresh, while they’re still warm for the best texture and flavor.
Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container for up to 2 days, or they can be frozen for up to a month. Simply reheat in the microwave or oven.
Variations:
Glazed Doughnuts: Dip the cooled doughnuts into a simple glaze made from powdered sugar, milk, and vanilla extract.
Chocolate Doughnuts: For chocolate lovers, dip the doughnuts in melted chocolate and sprinkle with colorful sprinkles.
Cinnamon Sugar: For a classic twist, coat the doughnuts in cinnamon and sugar right after frying.
FAQ:
Can I use a doughnut pan instead of frying?
Yes, if you prefer baked doughnuts, you can use a doughnut pan. Fill the molds halfway with batter and bake at 375°F (190°C) for 10-12 minutes.

Can I make these doughnuts ahead of time?
You can make the doughnut dough the night before, let it rise in the fridge overnight, and fry them fresh in the morning for a quicker breakfast.

What if my dough doesn’t rise?
Ensure the yeast is fresh and the milk is warm (not hot) when activating the yeast. If the dough doesn’t rise, it could be due to old yeast or the dough being in a cold environment.

Serve & Enjoy!
