How should you store Boston cream doughnuts?<\/h2>\n
If you have any left, store your Boston cream doughnuts in an airtight container in the fridge. The chocolate icing doesn’t fully set, so you’re better off keeping them in a single layer so none of the gooey chocolaty icing is lost.<\/p>\n
Can you make Boston cream doughnuts ahead of time?<\/h2>\n
While most fried doughnuts are best eaten the same day, you could prepare the pastry cream two to three days ahead of time. Store it in the fridge until you’re ready to fill the doughnuts. Keep in mind, you may need to whip it up slightly to loosen it before adding it to a pastry bag to fill the doughnuts.<\/p>\n
Boston Cream Doughnuts Tips<\/h2>\n

Taste Recipes<\/span><\/span><\/p>\nWhy didn’t my doughnuts turn out?<\/h3>\n
There are multiple reasons why your doughnuts could turn out anything less than perfect\u2014whether they’re oily, burnt or even raw on the inside\u2014and the oil is probably the culprit. Here are a few tips:<\/p>\n
\n- Make sure you let the oil come back to temperature between batches. The temperature will lower a bit every time you add a doughnut\u2014and if the temperature is too low, the doughnuts will absorb too much oil. Frying too many doughnuts at a time will cause the same thing, so be patient and only add a few at a time.<\/li>\n
- If the oil is too hot, you’ll likely burn the doughnuts. If you test the oil and find out that the temperature is too hot, give it a few minutes to reach 375\u00b0 again.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
We’d recommend doing a single test doughnut at the start after your oil has reached 375\u00b0. Get the hang of it, then get frying!<\/p>\n
Do you need a pastry bag to fill the doughnuts?<\/h3>\n
If you don’t have a pastry bag or pastry tip, don’t worry. You can fill up a plastic bag with the pastry cream and cut off the corner for a similar experience.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
