Baking Tips

For the moistest, fluffiest donuts be sure the egg, buttermilk and yes, even yogurt are at room temperature before beginning.  If you don’t have buttermilk, you can make a sour milk substitution by stirring 1/2 teaspoon of fresh lemon juice into 1/2 cup of whole milk then letting it sit for 5 min.  Pipe batter into your donut pan using a zip-top bag with a bottom corner snipped off.
