Recipe for fluffy donuts
Description
Perfect with tea and coffee. I want to share with you a great and very simple recipe for light, chocolate-covered donuts. Both kids and adults will definitely not be able to resist them :) If you have kitchen equipment, you can let it handle the dough mixing and rising. It's also very important to let the donuts rise before frying, so be patient and don't rush in the kitchen. Serve them cooled down or slightly warm.
