Fluffy Italian Donuts
This is one of the traditional snacks that people eat at carnivals in Italy. I reduced the amount of ingredients in the original recipe, since that version (the recipe my Italian mamma gave me) made way too many for me to finish! I also added some milk to the original recipe, to make the dough easier to handle.
The key is the oil temperature.
If the oil is too hot, the insides of the donuts will be undercooked. If it is too cool, the donuts will absorb the oil, and become too dense.

Cooking Instructions
- 1
In a bowl, combine the sugar and egg. Add the sifted flour and mix some more.
- 2
Once the batter is incorporated, add the baking powder. Add the milk (165 ml or 150 g) in several batches, add the liqueur, and mix well.
- 3
If the dough from Step 2 is too thick and it is tough to whisk, add the remaining milk, a little at a time, to make it thinner.
- 4
The batter should be not too thick or not to thin, but needs just enough thickness as shown in this photo.
- 5
Form small balls using 2 small spoons, drop the batter into the heated oil at about 160-170℃ (320 to 338 Fahrenheit), and slowly deep-fly.
- 6
The donuts should rise and start to spin around. They will turns into round balls and float to the top.
- 7
Once they're a nice fox-brown, take them out of the oil and place on a rack or similar to remove any excess oil. Sprinkle on some powdered sugar, and they're done.

Fluffy Milk Doughnuts Fluffy Milk Doughnuts
I wanted to make doughnuts that used milk.This is something I learned how to make a long time ago.About the timer setting..When you first put the dough in, hit your timer. Once two minutes have passed, turn them over and hit your timer again. Doing this makes sure that both sides have the same even color. For 10 doughnuts. Recipe by jelwee

Old Fashioned Donuts Old Fashioned Donuts
I love Mister Donut's old fashioned donuts and the egg donuts from bakeries. I can't get enough of the crispy texture. Experimenting with bread flour and adjusting the amount of butter was kind of a pain, but makes donuts that will be gone in a flash. I prefer making them with the cake flour.Don't let the oil get too hot. Don't make the dough too thick. If you fry for it too long, they will dry out.Coating the donuts with the icing makes them deliciously crispy.Don't dust the dough with too much flour. Recipe by Iku.. -

Melt-in-Your-Mouth Fluffy Doughnuts Melt-in-Your-Mouth Fluffy Doughnuts
I fervently wanted to eat doughnuts from a certain famous store chain...Since the ingredients are so close to what it takes to make bread, it's very fluffy.The dough is very soft, so when you go to fry it, put it gently into the pan.I wanted to make them slightly chewy and sticky so I tried using rice flour. However the texture turned out to be too hard, so I recommend you use bread flour. For 8 doughnuts. Recipe by sayata -
Glazed Donuts Glazed Donuts
Fresh soft tender donuts, warm , light and so good. They are mot difficult to make. The most important tip is that this recipe should make 12 donuts, so be mindful rolling the dough out, simply roll it to a 1/2 inch thickness, no more otherwise the donuts will not be light and puffy. My first batch I rolled to many and they were skinny and not as wonderfully light as the next batch.
