Krispy Kreme Doughnuts

Ingredients:

For the Doughnuts:

2 tablespoons warm water (around 110°F)

1/4 cup granulated sugar

1 packet (2 1/4 teaspoons) active dry yeast

3/4 cup warm milk (110°F)

1/3 cup unsalted butter, melted

2 large eggs

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

4 cups all-purpose flour, plus more for dusting

1/2 teaspoon salt

For the Glaze:

2 cups powdered sugar

1/4 cup milk

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Directions:

Dough Preparation: In a bowl, mix warm water, 1 teaspoon sugar, and yeast. Let it sit for 10 minutes until frothy. In another bowl, combine warm milk, melted butter, eggs, vanilla, and the yeast mixture. Gradually add flour and salt, kneading until the dough is smooth. Cover and let rise in a warm place until doubled, about 1 hour.

 

Forming Doughnuts: On a floured surface, roll out the dough to 1/2-inch thickness. Cut with a doughnut cutter. Place on a baking sheet, cover, and let rise for 30 minutes.

 

Frying: Heat oil in a deep fryer or large pot to 375°F. Fry doughnuts a few at a time, until golden brown. Remove and drain on paper towels.

 

Glazing: Mix powdered sugar, milk, and vanilla for the glaze. Dip each doughnut into the glaze while still warm, then place on a wire rack to set.
