Lastly, here are some cooking tips that I will share with you. First, make sure that you are not using recycled oil in order to have a fresh tasty product. Second, watch out for the fire. Do not overheat your oil so as not to burn your dough. To avoid over-frying of your dough, flip if the color underside is already golden. Do not overload your fryer too. Don't be in a hurry, it is better to work slowly but surely rather than to burn all your dough. Third, drain the doughnuts into the fryer for a few minutes before removing them. This will save you from using more oil. And lastly, avoid twisting when cutting your doughnuts, instead cut in a straight down movement.
Now, you are now ready to try your homemade doughnut recipe. Pamper yourself with such sweet treat right at your own kitchen. And by the way, don't forget to share it with others!
