Classic donuts are usually made from yeast dough with milk or water. For the dough to turn out as airy as possible, the flour must be sifted. They can vary widely in shape, from the usual rings to neat little filled pies. For the filling you can use chocolate, custard, jam, raisins and nuts, berries and fruits.
