Notes
- Measure your flour correctly! When measuring your flour, avoid scooping it with a measuring cup. Instead, stir the flour with a spoon to create as many air pockets as possible, and spoon it into your measuring cup. Finally, level it with the back of a knife.
- Use a small cookie scoop to scoop out the donuts, that way you will have even-sized donuts, plus it ensures that your donuts fry evenly.
- Use a candy thermometer to reach the proper heating oil temperature. This will prevent from your donuts from cooking too fast on the outside and being undercooked on the inside.
- Make sure that your baking leaveners isn’t expired. You can check if your baking powder and baking soda is expired by mixing a teaspoon of the powder with ¼ cup of room temperature water. The water should turn foamy with a lot of bubbles. This means your baking leaveners are not expired. If the water don’t react, you will need to buy new leaveners.
- Make sure that your ingredients are fresh! Make sure that your flour and baking powder, and baking soda are fresh and not expired. This step ensures that you will have great dough to work with.
- Don’t overcrowd the pan when frying the donuts, this step ensures that your donuts cook well.
- Remove the fried donuts to paper towels to drain any excess oil.
