For a richer flavor, use browned butter instead of regular softened butter. If you don't have buttermilk, you can make a substitute by adding 1.5 teaspoons of white vinegar or lemon juice to 0.5 cup of milk and letting it sit for 5 minutes before using. For a festive touch, dust the doughnuts with a mixture of cinnamon and sugar instead of confectioners' sugar. Be careful not to overheat the oil, as this will cause the doughnuts to burn on the outside and remain doughy on the inside. Make sure your baking powder and baking soda are fresh. Expired leavening agents won't give your doughnuts the proper rise. These doughnuts are best enjoyed fresh. However, you can store them in an airtight container for up to 2 days.
