The perfect donut is moist as well as airy. But that balance is often hard to achieve and with these tips, you’ll be able to do just that.
Moisture

The first thing you need to remember is that every donut meets its moisture requirement in different ways. Every donut is different in its own way. But in each variety, there is also a set traditional level of moisture that should be taken into consideration. The moisture of the cake, as well as the icing, should be in equal quantity. That is why the relationship between the outer layer and the inner donut is integral in creating the right moisture content.

1.     How it looks

Donuts should also look pretty on the eye as it shouldn’t be a treat just for your taste buds. Donuts can be presented in many forms when it comes to pleasing the eye. There are sprinkles, icing or even sugar crystals.

2.     The freshness

This is a prerequisite for any food and when it comes to donuts, this is particularly true. As donuts have very little shelf life, it is important to make them as fresh as possible. That is why you need to be on the lookout for freshly made donuts from places such as Krispy Kreme that let you know when the donuts have been made fresh. It is okay if you ask other places if the donuts there are fresh. The icing should also be fresh and shouldn’t be dry. The smell is also a great indicator as to how fresh it is. If a donut requires one bite removed from the rest of the donut, there is no doubt that the donut has gone stale.

3.     The curvature

One of the most fundamental factors to identifying a donut is its curvature. A perfect donut will not only be delicious, but also symmetric and easy on the eye. But a donut’s worth doesn’t simply lie on its perfect curvature. The imperfections also can influence how good a donut looks. A slight pinch of the dough can make a donut come to life as it would give a made-with-love feel.

4.     The filling

A donut that’s made to perfection shouldn’t have a mediocre filling such as whipped creep or canned raspberry jam. Instead, the donut must have freshly made cream, lemon curd or caramel. This will only make the donut even more amazing.

5.     The unexpected

When looking at a donut, you might feel as though it is only a regular donut. But that’s where you must be deceived. This surprise can be in the form of its shape or topping. Even buying a box of donuts to surprise your coworkers will add to the surprise element as a delicious box of donuts will do nothing but bring a happy smile to everyone
