Pro Tips for Success:

  • Use warm milk (not hot!) to help the yeast activate faster and make your donuts extra fluffy.

  • Don’t skip the rise time—a warm, draft-free spot (like inside your oven with the light on) works wonders.

  • Try baking instead of frying if you want a lighter version. Just brush them with a little oil before baking.

  • Mix up the colors! Swap pink for blue or purple sprinkles for themed parties or holidays.

  • Add orange zest to the icing for a fresh citrus twist.

  • Use a thermometer to check oil temperature (around 350°F) so your donuts cook evenly.
