Classic Homemade Doughnuts with a Soft, Fluffy Texture

ADVERTISEMENT

Serve doughnuts warm for the best texture and flavor.

Store leftover doughnuts in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days.

Reheat gently in the oven to regain softness if needed.

Variations:

Glaze doughnuts with chocolate or vanilla icing instead of dusting with sugar.

Fill doughnuts with jam, custard, or cream for an indulgent treat.

Add spices like cinnamon or nutmeg to the dough for extra flavor.

FAQ:

Q: Can I use fresh yeast instead of dry yeast?
A: Yes, substitute 24 g fresh yeast for 8 g dry yeast, adjusting the proofing time accordingly.

Q: How do I know when the oil is the right temperature?
A: Use a thermometer for accuracy or drop a small piece of dough in; it should sizzle and rise to the surface quickly.

Q: Can I bake the doughnuts instead of frying?
A: Yes, bake at 190°C (375°F) for 12-15 minutes, but the texture will be less crispy.
