Important Notes

⚠️

This dough is intentionally very soft and sticky, which is the secret to the melt-in-your-mouth texture. Avoid adding too much extra flour; instead, oil your hands and work surface to make kneading manageable.

⚠️

A stand mixer with a dough hook can make the kneading process much easier.

⚠️

The ideal frying temperature is crucial. Frying at a slightly lower temperature of 160°C (320-330°F) ensures the donuts cook through evenly and develop a soft crust rather than a crispy one.

⚠️

Glaze the donuts while they are still warm. This helps the glaze melt slightly and create a thin, even coating that sets perfectly.

⚠️

These donuts are best enjoyed fresh on the day they are made. To refresh leftovers, microwave them for about 30 seconds.
