I only tried them once and they tasted just like any other doughnut. Maybe they changed their recipe? I hate the meme how everyone says they are "doughnuts laced with crack" imo if you want true quality visit a local ran by Chinese people.

Apparently most donut places deep fry in PUFAs like canola oil which oxidize when heated and create free radicals that damage our bodies. The safest way to cook donuts is to use heat stable saturated fats for deep frying but nobody does this because saturated fats like lard are "unhealty".

Simply breathing in oxygen oxidizes your innards and generates free radicals.
Breathing is cancer. Enjoy your fucking doughnuts.

I've been attempting donuts myself lately and have had varying success but I can't seem to get the texture I so desire.

I got the best result so far from https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EKqaEGy4lxc except I didn't do the "refrigerate overnight" step 'cause nigga I be hungry.

I have never tried cake donuts but something inside me tells me the're blasphemy.

>> No.11305758

>>11305342
I've never seen that, all the donut places I've seen are run by Americans (German last names), Greeks, and Mexicans, referencing my home state.

I don't think there's any magic to it, just donuts are something you can get into as an immigrant without a horribly hard time of it, or so I imagine.

>>11305600
cake donuts are fine, don't be so donut conservative.

I can't imagine making them at home personally, I'd rather just get them occasionally while out, from people that do it on a regular basis and have all the necessary equipment. But that's just me. What is the texture problem?
