Doughnuts…warm, soft and smothered in chocolate…this is definitely one of life’s greatest pleasures.
The doughnut culture has also recently fast tracked in South Africa, with the major names like Dunkin Doughnuts and Krispy Kreme and quite a few independent stores popping up all over the country.
This is the first time I attempted to make doughnuts and I will definitely keep experimenting with New recipes and variations because this like cookies is dependent on what your preference is, i.e. soft or doughy, etc.
