- Fresh cream at room temperature: essential for easy and homogeneous incorporation.
- Soft and sticky dough: this is normal due to the fresh cream. Use a dough scraper and lightly flour your hands.
- Oil temperature: maintain at 170-175°C. Too hot, the outside burns; too cold, the doughnuts will be greasy.
- Do not overcrowd the fryer to maintain temperature and optimal rising.
- Sprinkle with icing sugar at the last moment for a beautiful white presentation.
- Serve warm with strong coffee, black tea, or vanilla hot chocolate.
