Donuts -- one of my favorite foods of all time. I was beyond excited when our teacher told us we would have a deep frying class. With the exception of a few gourmet donut shops that are popping up these days, donuts tend to be cheap. This always led me to believe they must be easy to make. And while I won't go so far as to say they are highly difficult, I will say that the entire process is longer and a bit more a pain in the ass than I expected.
The yeast donuts have to proof before they are fried and the deep frying itself is kind of an ordeal...it's uncomfortably hot to stand around a hot pot of oil! I think I'll stick to the eating side of the donut business for now.
