Notes
Donuts will stay fresh for up to 3 days at room temperature in an airtight container
These look amazing! But the chocolate lover in me can’t help but wonder if this recipe can be tweaked to make a chocolate donut? Thanks for all you do!
These are divine. Would the batter hold up to being fried?
I have not tried the air fryer for this style donut, but I have for my yeast raised Boston Cream with great results! I think it’s worth a test!
