Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 1/4 tsp active dry yeast
  • 1/2 cup warm water (110°F)
  • 1/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/4 cup whole milk, warmed
  • 1/4 cup unsalted butter, melted
  • 1 large egg
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
  • Oil for frying

For the Glaze:

  • 2 cups powdered sugar
  • 1/4 cup whole milk
  • 1/2 tsp vanilla extract

Instructions

  • In a bowl, dissolve yeast in warm water with 1 tbsp sugar. Let it sit for 5 minutes until foamy.
  • Add the remaining sugar, warm milk, melted butter, egg, salt, and 1 cup flour. Mix well.
  • Gradually add the remaining flour, kneading until a soft dough forms.
  • Cover and let it rise in a warm place for about 1 hour or until doubled in size.
  • Roll out the dough to 1/2-inch thickness and cut out doughnuts. Let them rise again for 30 minutes.
  • Heat oil in a deep fryer to 350°F (175°C). Fry doughnuts for about 1 minute per side until golden brown.
  • Drain on a paper towel.
  • Mix glaze ingredients until smooth, then dip warm doughnuts into the glaze.
  • Let them set on a wire rack before serving.

Notes

  • Use fresh yeast for the best rise.
  • Make sure the oil temperature stays consistent for even frying.
  • Glaze doughnuts while warm for a classic Krispy Kreme taste.
