Krispy Kreme Donuts (Copy Cat Recipe)

Ingredients:

Doughnut:

10 g active yeast

1/4 cup luke water (100 degrees)

3/4 cup warm milk (100 degrees)

2 cups flour

2 tbsp sugar

1 egg

1/4 stick or 113.5 g butter or shortening (soften at room temperature)

vegetable oil for deep frying





Sugar Glaze:

1/4 stick or 113.5 g butter

1 cup powdered sugar

1/2 tsp vanilla

2 tbsp water (clear glaze) or milk (white glaze)







*Melt butter and add to powdered sugar, vanilla, and water. Mix well until smooth. Pour into a shallow dish for dipping and coating warm doughnuts.



Procedure:

1. Dissolve yeast in 1/4 cup warm water, then add warm milk, egg, sugar, butter, and flour. Mix well for a few minutes. (If using an electric mixer for 2 minutes or by hand for 5 minutes)

2. Cover dough for at least an hour, or overnight.

3. On a lightly floured surface, roll out dough with a rolling pin about half an inch thick.

4. Cut doughnuts with a cutter (I used coffee mug), then a smaller cutter (bottle top) for the centers.

5. Let it rise for another 30 minutes.

6. When doughnuts have risen, heat oil in a wide, shallow pan to about 350 degrees (medium heat). Test one doughnut holes in the oil, it should bubble and quickly brown the doughnut hole.

7. Fry one doughnut at a time. Doughnuts brown in a few seconds, so you have to carefully watch for it.

8. Flip doughnut over to brown the other side.

9. Set cooked doughnuts on a rack or on paper towels to drain.

10. Dip one side of doughnut in a shallow bowl of sugar glaze.
