Frequently Asked Questions
Why does this recipe swap butter for half the oil and milk for the water called for on the box?
Replacing half the vegetable oil with melted butter adds richness and a more distinct baked flavor, while swapping the water for milk adds fat and protein that help the donuts brown better and taste less like boxed cake. Both substitutions are baked into the recipe as written — the box instructions are otherwise followed as directed.
