Homemade Glazed Donuts Krispy Kreme Doughnut Copycat Recipe




A copycat recipe for Krispy Kreme doughnuts – they’re light, airy and covered in a barely-there glaze.




Ingredients

2 (1/4 ounce) packages yeast

1/4 cup water (105-115)

1 1/2 cups lukewarm milk (scalded, then cooled)

1/2 cup sugar

1 teaspoon salt

2 eggs

1/3 cup shortening

5 cups all-purpose flour

canola oil

Glaze

1/3 cup butter

2 cups powdered sugar

1 1/2 teaspoons vanilla

4 -6 tablespoons hot water

Directions

  1. Dissolve yeast in warm water in 2 1/2-quart bowl. Add milk, sugar, salt, eggs, shortening and 2 cups flour. Beat on low for 30 seconds, scraping bowl constantly. Beat on medium speed for 2 minutes, scraping bowl occasionally. Stir in remaining flour until smooth. Cover and let rise until double, 50-60 minutes. (Dough is ready when indentation remains when touched.) Turn dough onto floured surface; roll around lightly to coat with flour. Gently roll dough 1/2-inch thick with floured rolling pin. Cut with floured doughnut cutter. Cover and let rise until double, 30-40 minutes.
  2. Heat vegetable oil in deep fryer to 350°. Slide doughnuts into hot oil with wide spatula. Turn doughnuts as they rise to the surface. Fry until golden brown, about 1 minute on each side. Remove carefully from oil (do not prick surface); drain. Dip the doughnuts into creamy glaze set on rack.

Glaze:

Heat butter until melted. Remove from heat. Stir in powdered sugar and vanilla until smooth. Stir in water, 1 tablespoon at a time, until desired consistency.
