Frequently Asked Questions:
Will they turn out the same if I do not allow the same raising time?
The time for a doughnut to raise is necessary. This gives it the fluffiness that you want in a raised doughnut.
Can I use shortening instead of oil?
You could, I prefer the shortening. When using shortening, you have zero grams of trans fat in each serving. This is why you will find that Krispy Kreme uses shortening.
