Thank you, Jeannette for bringing that to my attention. Yes, it is most definitely incorrect and has been corrected.
I appreciate that you found my error, and I do proofread my recipes carefully. However, I’m still a human and will make mistakes as I’m sure Marion did as well. The difference, she had multiple people review her work before her cookbook was published, and I do not.

Stirring in 1/4 cup of salt is going to ruin some peoples’ day. Please proofread your recipes carefully — something Marion Cunningham always did.

This is a long over due response, because I just came across this post, but I’d like to comment on this. (1) if the yeast is getting close to expiring, use new yeast. (2) Also, yeast is affected by how it’s stored. (3) when you add liquid to the yeast, if it’s colder thn 105 degrees, it won’t rise and if it’s hotter than 115 degrees, it won’t rise. I find the perfect temp for yeast to rise is between 105 – 110. I keep mine at 107.

As for the recipe. I have one that’s almost identical with the main difference being it calls for Rapid Rise Yeast. I’ve made them several times with great results, taste awesome. I use a chocolate glaze on top of them.

Hope that helps to answer some questions about why the yeast may not have risen.

Hey, Azizah, sorry the donuts didn’t turn out. The packets of yeast that I used were 3/4-ounce each and it was the Active Dry, not the Rapid Rise. I haven’t used the Rapid Rise, so I can’t attest to how it would work.
Yeast can be very temperamental, it may also be expired, so be sure to check the date on the package. Also, if the water or milk is too hot, it can kill the yeast. Also if the liquids are too cool then it won’t rise properly.
Baking with yeast can be very frustrating and can take some time to master and even once you master it, there will still be times that things don’t turn out as planned. Keep at it though and you’ll be able to enjoy those rewards!

In fact its still raw inside. How much is 2 pkg of dry yeast? Will it make a different whether we use instant or non instant dry yeast? What did I do wrong?

I definitely think I’ll be doing that in the future as I like the taste better. Thanks, Andy!

Fry them for 30-45 seconds per side, remove from the oil. Before you start frying them have a bowl or two of your favorite frosting, heated in the microwave and when the doughnuts are cooled slightly dip them in the warmed frosting and enjoy. Alternatively you could make your own doughnut glaze(recipes are everywhere online)which is basically powdered sugar and water or milk.
