Notes

These donuts are best served fresh. For storage, keep them in an airtight container for up to 1 day without powdered sugar. You can freeze unsugared donuts for up to 2 months. Experiment with flavors by adding spices or citrus zest for different variations. Ensure the oil is at the right temperature to avoid oily or undercooked donuts. Always monitor the heat while frying.
