How to Store Leftovers
If you happen to have any leftover Homemade Doughnuts, store them in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days. To refresh stale doughnuts, warm them in the oven at 300°F (150°C) for 5-10 minutes before serving.
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
Q: Can I bake the doughnuts instead of frying them? A: While traditional doughnuts are fried, you can certainly bake them for a healthier alternative. Simply place the shaped doughnuts on a parchment-lined baking sheet and bake in a preheated oven at 375°F (190°C) for 10-12 minutes, or until golden brown and cooked through.
Q: Can I freeze the doughnuts before frying? A: Yes, you can freeze the shaped doughnuts on a baking sheet until firm, then transfer them to a resealable plastic bag and freeze for up to 1 month. When ready to fry, let them thaw at room temperature for 30-60 minutes before frying as directed.
Q: Can I use instant yeast instead of active dry yeast? A: Yes, you can substitute instant yeast for active dry yeast in equal amounts. However, you can skip the step of proofing the yeast in warm milk and simply add the instant yeast directly to the dry ingredients.
