Tips from the Pillsbury Kitchens

  • tip 1
    To toast coconut, heat oven to 350°F. Spread coconut in ungreased shallow pan. Bake uncovered 5 to 7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until golden brown.
  • tip 2
    For best success when deep frying, use a candy thermometer to check the temperature to ensure the correct temperature.
  • tip 3
    An easy way to fill your decorating bag is to place it in a glass measuring cup or a large pint glass, and fold the opening down around the glass so it’s like a collar; fill the bag. Remove the bag, and bring ends together; twist and squeeze mixture toward tip, and pipe!
  • tip 4
    If you don’t have a decorating bag and tip, use a 1 gallon plastic freezer bag. Spoon frosting into bag and cut 1/2 inch off one corner of bag. Fill doughnuts as stated.
