Yeast donuts in a pan - FAQ About Ingredients, Baking Time and Storage

Yes, you can. Use the same amount as the recipe calls for (or as instructed on the yeast packaging), but you may need to proof it in the warm milk for a bit longer to ensure it activates properly. Look for bubbles to form.
Granulated sugar can be used as a substitute for powdered sugar, but the donuts may not be as smooth. You can also make powdered sugar by grinding granulated sugar in a high-speed blender or food processor until it reaches a fine powder consistency. Ensure it's very fine to avoid a grainy texture.
These donuts are best enjoyed fresh, but they can be stored in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days. Keep in mind they will lose some of their crispness.
Yes, you can freeze the dough after the first rise (Step 3). Punch down the dough to release air, wrap it tightly in plastic wrap, and then place it in a freezer bag. Thaw it in the refrigerator overnight, allow it to come to room temperature and continue from Step 4.
While this recipe is specifically designed for frying, you can try baking them. Bake at 375°F (190°C) for approximately 12-15 minutes, or until golden brown. Baking will result in a different texture, more cake-like as opposed to chewy and rich.
Non-dairy milk, such as almond milk, soy milk, or oat milk, can be used as a substitute for milk in this recipe. Keep in mind that different non-dairy milks can affect the final taste and texture slightly.
Yes, you can skip the zest if you don't have any on hand or don't want those flavors. You could substitute with vanilla extract or another spice like nutmeg for a different flavor profile.
To make these donuts vegan, substitute the butter with a vegan butter alternative and the milk with a plant-based milk. Ensure your sugar is vegan-friendly, as some granulated sugars are processed using bone char. Also, be sure that the yeast is vegan.
