Expert Tips–
You can make the dough the night before. Instead of letting it rise in a warm place for the first rise, place the covered bowl in the refrigerator for up to 12 hours. Then continue as directed in the recipe.
Try to keep the oil temperature as constant as possible. Too cool, and the doughnuts will absorb more oil and take longer to cook. Too hot, and the doughnuts will get done on the outside too quickly, leaving the centers still doughy. It will take about 20 minutes to heat the oil to 325°F.
These doughnuts can be filled with a variety of fillings. Try lime curd or any flavor of jelly.

NATIONAL DOUGHNUT DAY – November 5
November 5 is one of two National Doughnut Days that are celebrated by doughnut lovers across the nation. The first Friday in June is the other day that doughnuts are the star of the show.
The history of the doughnut is
- There is one theory that suggests they were invented in North America by Dutch settlers who were responsible for popularizing other American desserts including cookies, apple pie, cream pie and cobbler.
- An American, Hanson Gregory, claimed to have invented the ring shaped doughnut in 1847 while on board a lime-trading ship at the age of 16. He claimed to have punched a hole in the center of dough with the ship’s tin pepper box and later taught the technique to his mother.
- Anthropologist Paul R Mullins states that the first cookbook mentioning doughnuts was an 1803 English volume which included doughnuts in an appendix of American recipes.
- An 1808 short story describing a spread of “fire-cakes and dough-nuts” is the earliest known recorded usage of the term doughnut.
- A more commonly cited first written recording of the term is Washington Irving’s reference to doughnuts in 1809 in his History of New York. He described balls of sweetened dough, fried in hog’s fat and called doughnuts. Today, these nuts of fried dough are called doughnut holes.
