Kitchen Secrets
The key to perfect doughnuts is maintaining an oil temperature of 375°F. Use a deep-fat thermometer for best results. Frying for too long can make the doughnuts dry. To toast hazelnuts, sprinkle in ungreased skillet. Cook over medium heat 5 to 7 minutes, stirring frequently until nuts begin to brown, then stirring constantly until nuts are light brown.Nutritional Information
