For donuts, you can use unscented vegetable oil, high quality ghee, lard, or goose fat. In the last two options, 20-30 ml of vodka should be added to the deep fat so that the baked goods do not absorb the animal smell.

The thick bottom of the pan will ensure that the oil is heated evenly and the dough is baked. There should be enough fat for frying in the container so that the finished product is completely covered with a golden crust on all sides. Usually a 1-1.5 cm layer is sufficient.

Uniform heating of the oil can be ensured not only by a cast-iron frying pan inherited from grandmother, but also by a modern kitchen assistant - a multicooker. Thus, this gadget becomes suitable for baking donuts.

Oil is poured into the multican pan, guided by the same rules as when frying in a pan. The option that is suitable for these baked goods is "Roast". It is important to ensure that the oil has enough time to warm up before placing the first portion.

Donut fillings and icing options

Although this pastry is good in itself, the additional decor makes it not only more beautiful, but also tastier, many times more attractive in the eyes of those with a sweet tooth.

Donuts in the form of round balls or lush circles can be filled with various fillings, turning them into Berliners (filled donuts). As a filling, you can use ready-made products: chocolate-nut paste, boiled or ordinary condensed milk, all kinds of jams or preserves. Or you can prepare the filling yourself using your favorite recipe for custard, lemon curd, curd or other cream.

Ready-made products are filled with a confectionery syringe, or by making an incision on the side and filling the hole with a filling with a spoon.

Donut frosting is arguably the most popular decoration that turns baked goods into a real festive dish. There are two popular cooking methods.

In the first case, powdered sugar is simply mixed with liquid. This can be regular drinking water, lemon milk or other juice. So, taking beet or cherry juice, you can prepare a beautiful pink glaze. For a shiny and glossy finish, coat the donuts hot.

For the second method, chocolate is used. It must be melted and diluted to the desired consistency with cream, milk or sour cream. Depending on the type of chocolate included in the glaze (black, milk or white), you can get a coating of different colors.

Glazed donuts can be additionally garnished with colorful confectionery sprinkles, sesame seeds, or coconut flakes.

Donuts are baked goods that must be eaten fresh as they lose their flavor over time. Store them for no more than a few days.
