Recipe View Dip warm doughnuts into the glaze, coating them evenly. Place glazed doughnuts on a wire rack to allow excess glaze to drip off. Serve immediately and enjoy! (5 minutes)

For best results, ensure the oil temperature remains consistent throughout the frying process. Use a thermometer to monitor the temperature.
Do not overmix the dough, as this can result in tough doughnuts. Mix until just combined.
For a richer flavor, use browned butter in the dough. Cool slightly before adding.
Customize the glaze with different extracts, such as almond or lemon.
These doughnuts are best enjoyed fresh. However, they can be stored in an airtight container for up to 2 days.

    The recipe was easy to follow, and the doughnuts turned out perfectly. I added a sprinkle of cinnamon to the glaze for extra flavor.

    I had trouble with the dough being too sticky. Adding a bit more flour helped, but be careful not to add too much.
