    Serve doughnuts immediately, drizzled with caramel sauce or with caramel sauce on the side for dipping.

Tips from the Pillsbury Kitchens

  • tip 1
    For the perfect doughnut holes, make sure your oil temperature remains at 350°F. If the oil is too hot, the doughnut holes will be dark and split on the outside, and centers will be doughy. If the oil is too cool, the doughnut holes will absorb more oil during the longer fry time and be greasy.
  • tip 2
    Be careful when dropping dough into hot oil, as it can splatter easily. Gently drop the dough close to the oil, and use a slotted spoon to turn doughnuts and remove them from the oil once cooked.
  • tip 3
    Instead of caramel sauce, serve doughnuts with warm chocolate fudge sauce.
