How to make Krispy Kreme Glazed Dougnut
To make Krispy Kreme Glazed Doughnuts at home, you will need the following ingredients:
For the doughnuts:
- 2 ¼ cups all-purpose flour
- ¼ cup granulated sugar
- 1 packet (2 ¼ teaspoons) instant yeast
- ½ teaspoon salt
- ½ cup milk
- ¼ cup water
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, room temperature
- 2 large eggs
For the glaze:
- 2 cups powdered sugar
- ¼ cup water
- ½ teaspoon vanilla extract
For frying:
- Vegetable oil
Instructions:
1. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, yeast, and salt.
2. In a small saucepan, heat the milk, water, and butter on low heat until the butter melts and the mixture is warm (around 110°F/43°C). Do not let it boil.
3. Pour the warm milk mixture into the dry ingredients and add the eggs. Mix until a soft dough forms.
4. Transfer the dough to a lightly floured surface and knead for about 5-7 minutes until it becomes smooth and elastic.
5. Place the dough in a greased bowl, cover it with a clean kitchen towel, and let it rise in a warm place for about 1-2 hours or until it doubles in size.
6. Punch down the dough and roll it out to a thickness of about 1/2 inch. Use a round cookie cutter or a doughnut cutter to cut out doughnut shapes. Place them on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
7. Cover the doughnuts with a kitchen towel and let them rise for another 30 minutes.
8. While the doughnuts are rising, prepare the glaze by whisking together the powdered sugar, water, and vanilla extract in a medium bowl until smooth. Set aside.
9. In a large pot or deep fryer, heat vegetable oil to 375°F (190°C).
10. Carefully drop the doughnuts into the hot oil, frying a few at a time. Cook for about 1-2 minutes on each side until golden brown.
11. Remove the doughnuts from the oil using a slotted spoon and place them on a wire rack or paper towels to drain excess oil.
12. While the doughnuts are still warm, dip them into the glaze, making sure to coat each side well. Return them to the wire rack to set.
13. Allow the glaze to set for a few minutes, and your homemade Krispy Kreme Glazed Doughnuts are ready to be enjoyed!
Note: The cooking time might vary depending on the size of your doughnuts and the temperature of your oil, so it's essential to keep an eye on them while frying.
