Doughnuts — nobody can resist them! A truly delicious dessert! Be sure to learn my secret to super-fluffy doughnuts for teatime. Everyone goes wild for them! These are real sweet doughnuts — always soft, almost weightless, perfectly golden, with a crisp golden crust! They look so appetizing you'll want to eat every last one straight out of the fryer. Even after they cool, they keep their super-fluffy texture and melt in your mouth, all thanks to the secret ingredient! A favorite quick dessert! The liquid you dissolve the yeast in should feel pleasantly warm to the touch, no hotter than about 105°F (40°C). Why does this matter? Yeast activates well in a warm environment, dies in a hot one, and simply won't work in a cold one. To avoid unpleasant surprises, test the yeast before mixing it with the other ingredients: pour a little warm milk into a bowl and stir in the yeast. Cover the bowl with a kitchen towel and set it in a warm, draft-free spot for 10–15 minutes. A foamy yeast cap should form on the surface. If it doesn't, fermentation hasn't started (the yeast is expired or spoiled) — use a different batch, or the doughnuts won't rise.
