Hi Leis! You will need the same amount of yeast. You will want to proof it in warm milk and then add the butter.

Thank you so much for trusting my recipes, Stephanie! The dough is kneaded in the stand mixer with the hook. πŸ™‚

First of all, your recipes are so impressive! All of them have great ratings. You write them where they are very easy to follow( adding the ingredients in each step). Anyway, my question is, why do you not knead this recipe? Very curious and a tad concerned about the gluten development.

Hi Robyn! The dough could be a little tougher to work with and they may need more time to rise. It may also alter the texture a little bit, but I haven’t tried it for sure. If you do try it, let me know how it goes. πŸ™‚

Could I use whipping cream instead of whole milk for these donuts?

Hi Ashlea! They are best served warm, but are still very good when served the same day. πŸ™‚

Hi Eric! I actually haven’t tried these in the air fryer so I am not sure how it would work or exactly how to do it. If you do try I would love to know how it goes. πŸ™‚

Hmm it probably over-proofed so the texture could be altered. πŸ™

Can I use it, or should I throw it out?

Divine! I made these and tried a krispy kreme glaze copycat recipe on them! The effort is so worth it.

I’m so glad everyone enjoyed them so much, Shanendoah! Dropping them in the oil can be a bit tricky, you can see me struggle a little bit in the video. You could trying buying a spider to help drop them in the oil. If you have an instagram, you can always tag me @Sugarspun_sam. πŸ™‚

In reply to Sam.

First time ever and they came out amazing, my husband cant stop raving! Mine did not come out pretty, when getting them into the grease they fall so I need to practice handling them. The only adjustment I will make is more sugar and more vanilla.wish I could send a pic, they are amusing!

Hi Molly! The only thing I would be concerned about here is the donuts continuing to rise as they sit so I’m not sure it would work well as they could potentially overproof.
