Chef's Notes
Always use dark brown sugar for the butterscotch glaze to achieve that deep, molasses-rich royal flavor.
Pro Tip
If your oil is too hot, the outside will burn before the inside cooks. Keep a thermometer handy like a loyal squire.
Kitchen Catastrophe Warning
Dropping the raw donuts into oil that is too cold turns them into greasy oil-sponges that even the royal dogs would reject.

Royal Court Comedy
Why did the donut go to the dentist? Because it needed a chocolate filling!

Starch Retrogradation Reversal
Storage Science
Store at room temperature in a breathable bread bag or paper wrapper for up to 2 days. DO NOT refrigerate, as the cold accelerates starch retrogradation (staling). For long-term storage, freeze tightly wrapped.
Reheating Science
To reverse staling, flick a few drops of water onto the crust and reheat in a 350°F (175°C) oven for 5-8 minutes. The steam will re-gelatinize the starches, making the crumb soft and the crust crisp.
