Serve warm or at room temperature. These donuts are best enjoyed the same day but can be stored in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days. Reheat briefly in the microwave to refresh texture before serving.
Variations
Chocolate glaze: Replace vanilla in the glaze with 2 tbsp of cocoa powder.
Filled donuts: Use a piping bag to fill round donuts with jam, custard, or chocolate cream after frying.
Cinnamon sugar coating: Toss freshly fried donuts in a mixture of sugar and cinnamon instead of glazing.
FAQ
Do I need a heart-shaped cutter?
Not necessarily. You can shape the hearts by hand or cut out a cardboard stencil to guide your knife.
Can I bake these instead of frying?
Yes, but they won’t be as fluffy. Bake at 180°C (350°F) for about 10–12 minutes, then glaze.
Can I make the dough ahead of time?
You can prepare the dough the night before. Let it rise in the refrigerator, then continue with the recipe in the morning.
Can I freeze these donuts?
Unfrosted donuts can be frozen for up to 1 month. Reheat in the oven and glaze fresh before serving.
