Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 240 ml Whole milk
- 1 packet (7g) Active dry yeast
- 50 g Granulated sugar
- 500 g All-purpose flour
- 5 g Salt
- 60 g Unsalted butter
- 2 large Eggs
- 1 liter Vegetable oil
- 240 g Powdered sugar
- 5 ml Vanilla extract
- 60 ml Hot water
Instructions
Warm the milk until slightly warm to the touch. In a large bowl, sprinkle the yeast over the warm milk and let it sit for about 5 minutes, or until it becomes foamy.
Add the sugar, eggs, and melted butter to the yeast mixture, and stir to combine.
Mix together the flour and salt. Gradually add the flour mixture to the wet ingredients, mixing until a soft dough forms.
Knead the dough for about 5-6 minutes until it is smooth and elastic. If the dough is too sticky, add a little more flour, one tablespoon at a time.
Place the dough in a greased bowl, cover it with a damp cloth, and let it rise for about 1 hour, or until it's doubled in size.
Once risen, punch down the dough and roll it out on a floured surface to about 1/2-inch thickness.
Using a doughnut cutter, cut out doughnuts and place them on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Cover and let them rise again, about 30-40 minutes.
Heat the vegetable oil in a large pot to 375°F (190°C).
Fry the doughnuts a few at a time, for about 1 minute on each side or until golden brown. Remove using a slotted spoon and let them drain on paper towels.
To make the glaze, whisk together the powdered sugar, vanilla extract, and hot water until smooth.
Dip the warm doughnuts into the glaze and place them on a wire rack to allow excess glaze to drip off.
Let the glaze set for a few minutes before serving. Enjoy your homemade Krispy Kreme Original Glazed Doughnuts!
