Notes

Remember to add your leavening ingredients for an airy and fluffy donut.
Proof the dough for at least an hour and check for doneness.
To check if the oil is hot enough, lower a piece of dough into the oil. If it sizzles and floats to the surface, then the oil is hot enough.
Before cooking the donuts, you need to make sure that they have been properly and sufficiently proofed. Proofing can take up to more than an hour.
To fry the donut from the inside out, pour enough oil into the pan for deep frying. Keep turning the donuts with a skimmer to cook both sides.
Knead the dough for 12 to 15 minutes by hand and 10 to 12 minutes using the dough attachment of the mixer.
