Many home cooks are put off by the idea of making their own donuts, simply because it\u2019s such a hassle. With yeast donuts, there\u2019s a lot of kneading and resting involved, and let\u2019s be serious, no one wants to wait for hours when you have a donut craving! Luckily, these homemade fried donuts are easy to make, and they are delicious.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Yeasted donuts are made with instant yeast, and are light and airy. In this recipe, all the ingredients are mixed in one bowl, so less dirty dishes! The formed donuts are fried to perfection and sprinkled with sugar. They are soft, fluffy, and delicious\u2026 yum!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Can I Use an Air Fryer?
These Homemade Fried Donuts can also be made in the Airfryer. Simply cover the bottom of the air fryer basket with parchment paper. Cook the plates donuts at 350\u00b0F\/180\u00b0C until browned and puffed up, about 7 to 8 minutes. Remove from the basket and drain on paper.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Recipe Tips
Make sure that the oil is not too hot. This will cause the donuts to burn before they are fully cooked through. The best temperature for donuts is 350-375\u00b0F (180-190\u00b0C), so it\u2019s worth investing in a candy thermometer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Instead of plain sugar, you can also create a sugar-cinnamon sprinkle. Simply combine \u00bd cup of granulated sugar with 1 tbsp ground cinnamon. To make sure the sugar sticks to the donuts, you can brush the donuts with melted butter.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
If you don\u2019t like sugar-sprinkled donuts, you can also make glazed donuts. To make a glaze, simply mix together \u00bd cup melted butter, 2 tsp vanilla extract, 4 cups powdered (fine) sugar, and just enough milk to thin the mixture out. Allow the donuts to cool slightly before you dip the donuts in the glaze.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
While you can make these donuts in an Airfryer, they\u2019re not suitable for baking in the oven.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
How to store Fried Donuts
Store the plain donuts in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 4 days. Sprinkled or glazed donuts can be stored at room temperature for 1 day or 2.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
