9. Make a donuts shape by putting a dusted donuts shape mold into the dough.
( I don't have a donut shape mold, so I use a cup and a small lid of bottle to make the donuts shape. )
10. Remove it from the dusted donuts mold. Make a line around the circle with disposable chopsticks and it will look like donuts store's old fashion donuts.
11. Heat the oil to a low medium temperature 160-170 ° C ( 320 °F to 338 °F ) and gently add the dough from the side where the cut was made.
Turn it over when the bottom becomes a light brown color.

* Honey - 30 g

I started loving donuts since our LA trip, after eating the Donuts Man store's donuts.
I wish that donuts store is located near our place but they are located in only Los Angeles and New York.
So I was searching some donuts stores near here if there is the store which taste similar to Donuts man's donuts, and were checking all the reviews.
and we chose one of the highest rating store
When we went to the store in the afternoon, all the " old fashion donuts " were sold out.
They said it's always sold out in the morning.
So we asked them to hold 6 old fashion donuts for us until next day's afternoon.
One of the comments said their old fashion donuts is the best ! so I was expecting to eat it.
However, all their donuts were very very sweet for us.
and I got toothaches while eating it.
So I only ate one of them.
My husband gave up after eating second donuts in the next day.
We felt like if we eat this kind of very sweet foods often, we may get health problem besides our teeth.
About a year ago, there was less sweet yummy donuts in Sprouts farmer's market, and we really loved it but they stopped selling it, I don't know why ?
In the USA, it's hard to find sweet foods with less sugar.
Most of the sweet foods are incredibly sweet. like eating sugar.
So I stopped searching donuts store and decided to make it by myself.
If you like donuts with less sugar, you will like these donuts.
