Puff-Ball Doughnuts

The batter can be mixed and refrigerated for up to 2 hours before frying. Let it sit at room temperature for 15 minutes before using, and give it a gentle stir. The batter may thicken slightly when chilled; thin with 1-2 tablespoons of milk if needed to restore the proper consistency.

These doughnuts are best eaten within 2-3 hours of frying while still slightly warm. Store any leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 1 day. Do not refrigerate, as this will make them tough. Refresh briefly in a 300°F oven for 3-5 minutes before serving, though they will not regain their original texture.
