If you love donuts, you love donuts. They’re so easy to get excited about with their perfect, fluffy, and light texture, making it way too hard not to eat the entire dozen. But even donut lovers tend to avoid trying to make them at home because they’re notoriously tricky to perfect. Though the truth is that they’re not that hard, especially if you follow these tips.

Try an Easier Version

To start out, why not try a donut recipe that’s designed to be easy to achieve? It may not turn out exactly like your store-bought donut, but you might find that you enjoy it just as much. This 15-Minute Homemade Donuts recipe from Cooking Classy is a great one to start with.

Be Careful About Temperatures

If you do decide to go all-out and try to deep fry your donuts as they do in a donut shop, being mindful of your temperatures is what will help you achieve that sought-after donut texture. Keep the dough cool before you fry it, and make sure your frying oil temperature is right around 360. Also, give the oil time to get back to that temperature after every batch that you make, since it will cool down while the donuts are cooking.
