Recipe View Cool and Serve: Place the coated doughnuts on a fresh set of paper towels to cool slightly before serving. Best enjoyed warm! (Prep time: 2 minutes)

For best results, use a deep-fry thermometer to maintain the oil temperature. If the oil is too hot, the doughnuts will brown too quickly on the outside while remaining undercooked inside.
Don't overcrowd the pan when frying; this will lower the oil temperature and result in greasy doughnuts.
Experiment with different Kool-Aid flavors to create a variety of colorful and delicious doughnuts.
For a lighter doughnut, try using cake flour instead of all-purpose flour.
Leftover doughnuts can be stored in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days. Reheat gently before serving.

    Next time, I'm going to try dipping them in a glaze instead of rolling them in sugar for a different twist.

    I used grape Kool-Aid and they tasted just like the ones at the fair!

  • Jovany Schuppe

    The oil temperature is key! The first batch was a little greasy, but once I adjusted the heat, they were amazing.

    These were a hit at our summer party! Everyone loved the unique flavor and vibrant colors.
