Meen's Doughnut
Quick tips for a near perfect doughnut:
1. Proof yeast before use. Proofing yeast has two important advantages among others;
a) testing if your yeast is active (good). Inactive yeast will not foam/rise.
b) it reduces rising time. This is why doughnuts made with proofed yeast have a higher likelihood of overrising. Please take note.
2) Knead the dough very well for a fluffier doughnut.
3) Do not allow it to overrise. This makes it to collapse. If you are using proofed yeast, reduce rising time by 15 minutes. Proofing means that you have kickstarted the rising process.
4) Fry on medium heat so as to allow the center to cook. Frying on very low heat makes it soggy and heavy. That is, it won't be light and fluffy.
5) With doughnut, 'less is more'. Do not go overboard with the ingredients. Just knead well and you are good to go.
