You can also pick up a complete guide to doughnuts, which features easy-to-follow instructions on cutting, shaping, frying and glazing these indulgent treats. Use a cookbook stand to keep the book upright so you can easily reference your recipe while you work, then bring a few dozen homemade doughnuts to share with friends and family to show off your new baking skills.
