Can I skip the glaze? The dough itself is very lightly sweet so adding glaze is nice, but you can also roll them in cinnamon sugar when they come out of the oil or dust with powdered sugar after they cool.
Common Questions:
Can I Substitute Active Dry Yeast?
Using instant yeast will make your dough rise faster. If substituting with active dry yeast, you will need longer rising/ proofing times.
Can I scald milk in the microwave?
Put 2/3 cup milk in a microwave-safe measuring cup and heat on full power for 60-75 seconds, stirring every 15 seconds until it reaches 180˚F and is steaming hot.
What is the best oil for frying?
We use peanut oil which is a high heat oil that’s perfect for deep frying. Vegetable oil or canola oil also work well.
What can I use to cut out donuts?
Use either a donut cutter or round cookie cutters. If you don’t have the cutters, you can use any circular-shaped item like a drinking glass for the outside and shot glass for the center. It helps if you have a sharper edge, like the lid of a cooking spray can.
