How to cook donuts?

• Answer:

  First you need a good donut batter and a donut "Dropper" it is a hand held device that makes a donut shaped ring that drops into a vat or pot of boiling oil. The mix should be of adequate thickness like waffle batter where it holds the shape pretty well and coats the back of a spoon and does not move much when held up. Then the oil, well, the oil is a real challenge, the best is peanut oil but it is high priced and canola is next it is relatively well priced and low in fat. The oil has to be preheated so that it is all evenly heated and it must reach 325F and be the same temperature all throughout the pot. Then carefully with gloved hands you must load the batter dropper and drop one donut center, and 5 donuts around the center if possible in succession so you form a ring. Then allow it to cook for a matter of minutes, until browned and dip them from the oil with a large mesh strainer. Easy enough.
