Can I Make Full Donuts Instead?
You can absolutely make bigger donuts out of this recipe. Make sure to have the time and temp, so you’re not over or undercooking. Also, make sure to make a triple in size amount of glaze to have enough to coat a full donut.
How Do I Keep Donut Holes Fresh?
Storing your donuts the correct way is what keeps them fresh. Depending on whether you decide to eat them right away or in a little while matters. If you’re immediately wanting to eat them, just place them in a sealed container at room temperature which will last up to 2 days. If not right away, then place it into the fridge.
