Tips from the Pillsbury Kitchens

  • tip 1
    Don't be afraid to deep-fry -- it's easy! Just be sure to maintain correct oil temperature so outside gets crisp and golden brown and inside stays tender. One of the secrets of success is to fry doughnuts in batches to keep from overcrowding pan and causing a drop in oil temperature.
