Best Glazed Donuts (Homemade Krispy Kreme Donuts) 🍩 Dough: - 1 cup milk, warm - 1/4 cup water, water - 2 1/4 tsp active yeast - 3 1/2 cups all-purpose flour - 1/4 cup granulated sugar - 1 tsp salt - 2 eggs, room temperature - 1/2 cup shortening Glaze: - 2 1/2 cups powdered sugar - 1/4 cup milk - 1/4 cup corn syrup - 2 tsp vanilla extract Rise for 1-2 hours Roll into 1/2” thick, use 3 inch round cutter and 1 inch small cutter. Shape and rise again for 30-45 minutes Fry at 350-360 F for 1-2 minutes per side Makes 12-13 donuts Instructions: Start by combining the warm milk and water with the yeast, then let it sit for about 10 minutes to bloom. Add one cup of flour, the sugar, salt, and eggs, then mix until combined. Next, add the shortening and the remaining flour. Shortening is key to getting that classic soft, tender donut texture without making them feel too heavy. Knead the dough for about 5 to 8 minutes, until it's smooth and no longer sticky. Place it in a greased bowl, cover, and let it rise for 1 to 2 hours, or until doubled in size. Once risen, roll the dough out to about half an inch thick. Cut out your donuts using a 3-inch round cutter, then use a 1-inch cutter for the center. Place the donuts on parchment squares and let them rise again for about 30 to 45 minutes. This second rise is what helps give them that light and fluffy texture. For the glaze, whisk together the powdered sugar, milk, corn syrup, and vanilla until smooth. The corn syrup helps give the glaze that shiny finish and keeps it smooth. Fry them at 350 to 360 degrees Fahrenheit for about 1 to 2 minutes per side, until they're lightly golden. Dip each donut while they're still warm and let the excess glaze drip off. #glazeddonut #donuts #dessert #baking #EasyRecipe
