Halloween Doughnuts Recipes to Try this October!

Wait! Are you a fan of doughnuts like us? We are already friends if you love doughnuts too! There is no particular season to make doughnuts because every day of the year is ideal to make and enjoy doughnuts! It is an amazement to note that doughnuts, a single dessert can be so fulfilling to the heart and the taste buds. However, if you are making it for the first time all by yourself then here are some tips which you can put to use. Let's read on to find out more.

Tips to making the best doughnuts this season

1. Add some mashed potatoes - you will be intrigued to learn about the benefits of mashed potatoes in doughnuts. Add some one-third cup of mashed potatoes to the mixture so that the doughnuts turn out to be fluffy! Doughnuts without fuzzy and fluffy essence are not doughnuts at all.

2. Use of proper proofing and dough developing technique is highly essential- make sure you are using yeast in warm water! The technique of doughing must be followed if you do not wish to end up with a sunken doughnut. The final dough will be soft if you give proper time and kneading to the dough! It is the most vital and preliminary step of making a doughnut and making sure you follow the rules. Keep it covered for about two hours so that the dough rises and becomes fluffy under the influence of yeast.

3. Over-mixing is a great mistake- we often feel that mixing well is the key and always go overboard! Mixing well is one thing while over-mixing is another step altogether. You should not allow over-mixing as this will lead to loss of texture. No matter what you are baking, over-mixing is a big mistake that every baker should avoid! Mix until the liquid or the dough has an even consistency and there are no air pockets.

4. Always use the right cutters- using a proper cutter gives a definite shape to the dough! If you do not wish the doughnuts to be shapeless then make sure you use these cutters! One should be prepreferably5 inches in diameter while the other of 1 inch to make the hole.

5. Never compromise with the quality of oil- never reuse oil to fry doughnuts! Imagine the stinky odor of old and rancid oil in your doughnuts! Nobody will touch your doughnuts and the effort will all go down the drain. Although it might be expensive to fry fresh batches of doughnuts in new oil, you mustn't compromise the quality of the doughnuts.

6. Right frying temperature is highly essential- frying in too hot or too cold oil is detrimental to the quality of the doughnuts you are about to fry! In too-hot oil, the doughnuts might get burned or too brownish whereas, in cold oil, the center of the doughnuts might not get cooked properly. The ideal temperature for frying the doughnuts is 360°F.

7. Use chopsticks to flip the doughnuts- while you are frying the doughnuts in hot oil, chopsticks are the best option to flip them from one side to another without causing rapture of the texture.

8. Use a wire strainer to bring the doughnuts out of the oil- if you know the proper technique to bring out the doughnut from the oil then we must say that your doughnuts will be tender and crispy without absorbing much of the oil and getting soggy. Use a wire strainer so that doughnuts can be brought off the oil while the extra drips from the holes of the strainer. You can then transfer it to the paper towel so the excess oil is further absorbed.

9. Glazing and icing correctly- the combination and proportion of powdered sugar with the glazing liquid should be in the proper amount so that the glaze syrup does not turn out to be too runny. A little egg white and cornstarch give consistency to the glazing syrup as well. In case you are making just sugar doughnuts, you need to quickly roll the pieces in powdered sugar before they dry up! Making a flawless doughnut like the ones from the bakery is absolutely possible if you follow the steps carefully.

10. Keep the uncooked doughnuts away from the heat- when you are not making all the doughnuts at once, you should keep the uncooked ones away from the heat, or else the dough might lose its texture and consistency.

Finally, you have to remember that Rome was not built in a day! This implies that you may not perfect the skills of making doughnuts all at once! It will take time, patience, and practice to master the talent.
