Donuts at home - tricks and tips
• Most often donuts are squeezed out by glasses. But how to cut a small hole? You can just take the cork from the bottle, but do not forget to grease it and dip it into flour.
• Cut circles from the center of the donut do not have to be mixed with scraps. They can also be deep-fried, inflated and become balls. Especially to the taste of such small koloboks will appeal to children.
• Don’t make sweet donut dough. Otherwise, it will burn very quickly and will not bake inside. Sweet lovers should sprinkle plenty of finished products or pour syrup, condensed milk, grease with jam.
• To save oil, you need to fry products in a deep bowl, such as a cauldron or a thick-walled saucepan.
• If you don’t cut donuts, not in flour, but in vegetable oil, then the deep fat will not smoke like that.
• To prevent the donuts from being too greasy, the oil must be well heated. Otherwise, the dough will actively absorb it. And after frying the product, you need to spread it on paper napkins or towels that absorb some of the oil.
