- The doughnuts will rise during baking, so fill the doughnut molds 3/4 of the way up or they could overflow.
- The doughnuts are ready to come out of the oven when they are golden brown and an inserted toothpick comes out clean.
To Store
- Refrigerate - Let the doughnuts cool completely and store them in an airtight container at room temperature up to 3 days with a paper towel to absorb excess moisture. Store refrigerated up to a week.
- Freeze - You can also freeze doughnuts by wrapping them in plastic wrap or foil and placing them in a freezer bag. Thaw them at room temperature.
Reheat
- Warm in microwave or oven before serving.
