"Just like brownies and apple pie, donuts are a staple of Americana. Having already stood the test of time, donuts are currently enjoying a resurgence of popularity. Artisanal bake shops all over the US are breathing new life into donuts with imaginative flavors and recipes. Unsurprisingly, sweet-toothed fiends have been lining up by the baker’s dozen to get ahold of the sugary breakfast treats. But instead of joining in the line, why not make some donuts yourself? Learn how with our latest recipe video. Pro tip: Enjoy them with a nice hot cup of coffee to keep the sweetness in check."

Step 1/3
- 100 g bread dough
- ¼ tbsp vegetable oil
- pot
- slotted spoon
Heat the vegetable oil in a large pot to about 170–180°C/340–350°F. Meanwhile, separate the refrigerated biscuits and shape them into donuts by poking a hole in the center and stretching it slightly. Carefully place the dough rings into the hot oil and fry until golden brown on both sides.
Step 2/3
- 50 g confectioner’s sugar
- ¼ lemon
- 7½ g pistachios
- bowl (small)
- juicer
- knife
- cutting board
While the donuts drain on paper towels and cool slightly, juice the lemon. In a small bowl, whisk the confectioner's sugar with the lemon juice until a smooth, thick glaze forms. Coarsely chop the pistachios.
Step 3/3
- plate
Generously spread the lemon glaze over the warm donuts. Immediately sprinkle with the chopped pistachios while the glaze is still wet. Let them set briefly and serve.
Enjoy your meal!
