How to Make Doughnuts!!

This is a family favorite!!
Everybody loves Doughnuts so we might as well make them ourselves!
The recipe I am sharing with you today is a result of multiple failures and messes.
I have tried so many doughnut recipes before and have never been satisfied with how they turned out. Therefore, I came up with my own combination and I'm happy to say that it's a keeper.

These doughnuts do not
absorb the oil while frying so you are not left with a yucky oil after taste when you bite into them. They are great even if you decide not to fry them at all and go with the healthier alternative of baking them.
