Recipe For Cake Doughnuts

[penguin]

Personally, as a southern trained cook, I don't use a thermometer for my frying. I set my electric stovetop to about a 6 with shortening and that's perfect for frying chicken-fried steak (gonna have to figure out how to make that gluten-free )

Anyhoo, without a thermometer, I would just drop a tiny bit of batter into hot oil to test. If it doesn't bubble and either gets glogged up with oil or stays mushy, it's not hot enough. If it's incinerated as soon as it hits the oil and your house is smoky, it's too hot.

Good luck with calling all of your professionals
