THE ORIGINAL KRISPY KREME GLAZED DONUTS YOU KNOW AND LOVE, AND NOW YOU CAN MAKE THEM AT

HOME AND EAT FRESH!

A few months ago he saw that it was National Donut Day and got the urge… He asked me if he could make a

copycat version of Krispy Kreme donuts at home. I never turn down a challenge, so I started researching! Light

and chewy, these fancy glazed donuts are a great way to get anyone out of bed in the morning. Who can resist a

copycat Krispy Kreme recipe?

Ingredients

• 3 tablespoons milk

• 3 tablespoons boiling water

• 1 teaspoon active dry yeast

• 8 ounces all-purpose flour (a little less than 2 cups, I recommend measuring and weighing. See my note above)

• 1 1 2 ounces sugar (approx . 3 tablespoons)

• 1 egg

• 1 ounce butter, cold to room temperature

• 1 pinch of salt

• Oil

• Glaze

• 1/3 cup butter

• 2 cups powdered sugar

• 1 1/2 teaspoons vanilla

• 4 tablespoons hot water (or as needed)

Instructions

In a large measuring cup, combine milk and boiling water. Add a teaspoon of sugar and the yeast. Stir it gently

and then leave it in a warm place to activate the yeast (aka foam).

In a large bowl, mix together the flour, remaining sugar and salt.Using your fingers or a pastry blender, cut in the

butter until it resembles crumbs.

Add the egg (quickly whisk) and the yeast mixture to the flour mixture and stir until a soft dough forms. This

usually requires about 5 minutes of mixing time.

Place the dough on a lightly floured work surface and knead for about 5 to 10 minutes. It should feel springy and

small bubbles should form under the surface. Place it back in the bowl, cover with a cloth or plastic wrap, and let

it sit until it has doubled in size, about an hour.Once the dough has risen, place it on the work surface and cut it

into 4 pieces. Pull one piece at a time into a long rope about 1 to 1 1/2 inches wide. Cut strips about a centimeter

long, form them into balls with your hands and place them on a baking sheet or rack to wait.

Cover the holes in the donuts with a towel to allow them to rise while you heat the oil to 375°F.

Place the donuts in the oil and fry until golden brown, about 2 minutes on each side.Make sure to only fry a few

of them at a time so they don’t clump or stick.

Drain on a paper towel or place on a cloth before glazing. Make sure you glaze them warm or they won’t get the

delicious topping!
