For best results, use a deep-fry thermometer to maintain the oil temperature. If the oil is too hot, the doughnuts will brown too quickly on the outside while remaining undercooked inside. Don't overcrowd the pan when frying; this will lower the oil temperature and result in greasy doughnuts. Experiment with different Kool-Aid flavors to create a variety of colorful and delicious doughnuts. For a lighter doughnut, try using cake flour instead of all-purpose flour. Leftover doughnuts can be stored in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days. Reheat gently before serving.

Feb 18, 2025Next time, I'm going to try dipping them in a glaze instead of rolling them in sugar for a different twist.
