This recipe showcases delightful sugar-dusted doughnuts (made from scratch).

These homemade doughnuts are simply the best. Fresh from the fryer and dusted in sugar, they are divine. You could inject jam or custard into them before dusting, but they certainly don’t need it. If your doughnuts are a little sticky, place the paper in the frying pan, then remove with tongs. They will keep their shape this way.
