What are the proper conditions for depositing cake doughnuts from a “sanitary” cutter?
The cutter should be placed even with the top of the frying kettle. The bottom of the doughnut piece should be one inch above the fat when released from the cutter, which means the doughnut cutter should be about two inches above the fat. The doughnut screen should be two inches below the fat surface. When the doughnut piece is deposited, three to five seconds should elapse before the doughnut starts to rise to the surface of the fat.
