Method

  1. Ingredients are being boiled in a pot of liquid on a gas stove.

  2. A ball of dough is being kneaded on a floured marble surface.

    Kitchen notes · Added by ReelsMeals: Dough forms a cohesive ball during kneading. Work on a lightly floured surface so it releases cleanly.

  3. The dough is rolled flat and cut into rings using a metal cutter.

    Kitchen notes · Added by ReelsMeals: Dough is rolled evenly before cutting the rings. Cut cleanly so the donut shapes keep their edges.

  4. Whole nuts are being stirred in a liquid mixture within a pot.

  5. Finished glazed donuts are cooling on a wire rack.

    Kitchen notes · Added by ReelsMeals: Glaze sets on the rack around the finished donuts. Leave space between them while they cool.
