| How to Make Your Own Krispy Kreme Doughnuts Nov 6th 2012, 00:00 Everyone loves Krispy Kremes! Krispy Kremes are used in fundraisers, breakfasts, and even for that sweet snack need. Here is how to make them! Edit Ingredients Doughnut batter - 2 pkgs regular or rapid rise yeast
- 1/4 cup warm water (105−115 degrees)
- 1 1/2 cups lukewarm milk (scalded then cooled)
- 1/2 cup sugar
- 1 tsp salt
- 2 eggs
- 1/3 cup shortening
- 5 cups all−purpose flour
- Vegetable oil
Creamy glaze - 1/3 cup butter
- 2 cups powdered sugar
- 1 1/2 tsp vanilla
- 2-4 tbsp hot water
Doughnuts - Mix the warm water with the yeast in a mixing bowl. Let the yeast dissolve in the water.
- Add the salt, shortening, milk, sugar, eggs, and 2 cups of flour. At a low pace or speed, mix the ingredients well, as you also want to scrape and fold in the mixture. Do this for 30 seconds.
- Beat or stir the mixture for another 2 minutes at a medium speed. Continue scraping and folding. Put in the rest of the flour and stir the mixture until it's smooth.
- Cover the dough mixture and let it rise for about 50 to 60 minutes. You'll want to store it in a warm place. The dough will be ready when the indentation stays intact when you touch it; meaning, if you press the dough with your finger, it will stay pressed down instead of bouncing back up.
- Spread flour onto a surface, such as a counter top or cutting board. Scoop the dough onto the floured surface and roll the dough around softly so that it's coated. Carefully roll the dough into 1/2 inch (1.3cm) thick pieces with a rolling pin (preferably floured so that the dough does not stick to pin). Use a doughnut cutter on each piece, giving them a hole in the middle.
- Cover the pieces again and allow it to rise for another 30 to 40 minutes.
- Use a deep fryer at 350ºF/180ºC and pour in the vegetable oil. Using the sides of the deep fryer and a wide spatula, slide the doughnut batter into the oil. Turning them about 1 minute on each side, fry the batter until you get a golden brown color.
- Remove the doughnuts from the oil in a careful manner and drain the pieces. Be sure to avoid pricking the surface of the doughnuts.
- Use the creamy glaze and dip the doughnuts into it. Let the doughnuts cool down and then use the chocolate glaze as a spread.
Creamy Glaze - Use a small pot or saucepan to heat the butter. Wait until it's melted and then remove it from the heat.
- Add the vanilla and powdered sugar stir until the mixture is smooth.
- Pour in the water (one tablespoon at a time) and stir it in until the consistency matches what you want.
Chocolate glaze - Use a small pot or saucepan to melt the chocolate and butter over low heat.
- Remove it from the heat, add the powdered sugar and vanilla, and stir until the mixture is smooth.
- Pour in the water (one tablespoon at a time) and stir it in until the consistency matches what you want.
- Finished.
- Use sprinkles or other toppings on top of the chocolate glaze for more goodies on the doughnuts.
- This recipe makes 2 to 3 dozen (24 to 36) doughnuts.
- Try brushing the glaze on with a pastry brush; it's great for an even spread!
