Krispy Kreme Doughnuts

By ctozzi

Ingredients

• Doughnuts:
• 2 cups scalded milk
• 1/2 cup butter
• 2/3 cup sugar, divided
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 2 tablespoons yeast
• 4 eggs (beaten)
• 1/4 teaspoon nutmeg
• 7 cups sifted flour
• Glaze:
• 3 cups powdered sugar
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1/2 teaspoon vanilla
• 1/2 cup cold water

Preparation

Step 1

Mix together ingredients for glaze.

Melt butter in hot milk, add 1 tsp sugar and salt. Allow to cool.

Beat in yeast, nutmeg, eggs, remaining sugar, and 3 cups flour.

Add rest of flour (dough will be sticky).

Knead for 5 minutes then allow to rise for 1-1 1/2 hours.

Roll out dough, cut into shapes.

Do not re-roll dough, then allow to rise for 30-45 minutes.

Heat oil to 365° and fry 1 - 2 minutes on each side or until brown. Toss in the doughnut holes first, let those cook, and then proceed to cooking the donuts.

Let them cool on a paper towel - helps get the glaze to stick.

Dip in warm glaze.
