KRISPY KREME ORIGINAL GLAZED DOUGHNUTS

Steps:

• 1. Dissolve the yeast and sugar in the warm water. Let solution stand for 5 minutes or until it becomes foamy on top. Make sure the water isn't too hot to avoid killing the yeast.
• 2. Sift flour and salt together in a large bowl. Beat egg yolk in a small bowl, then stir in the milk and vanilla. Pour the yeast solution into the bowl with the egg and milk, and stir. Make a well in the center of he flour, then pour the yeast solutioninto that well. Stir by hand gently with a wooden spoon from the middle, slowly bringing in more flour until all ingredients come together into a ball-the dough will be too sticky to handle at this point. Cover the bowl and let sit in a warm place for 30 to 45 minutes or until the dough doubles in size.
• 3. While the dough is rising, cut ten 4 x 4-inch squares of wax paper and arrange them on two rimmed baking sheets. Each doughnut will rise on its own square of wax paper, and the rimmed baking sheet will allow you to wrap a large sheet of foil over the doughnuts without the foil touching the doughnuts. Sprinkle a little flour on each of the squares of wax paper.
• 4. Use flour on your hands to transfer the dough to a floured surface. Sprinkle a little flour on top of the dough, and then gently roll out the dough until until it's about 1/2 inch thick. Use only the amount of flour needed to allow you to handle the dough. Use a 3-inch biscuit cutter to cut out circles of dough, then use a lid from a plastic soda or water bottle (about 1 1/8-inch diameter) to cut the holes. Carefully place each doughnut on a square of wax paper with the floured side of the doughnut down on the wax paper. Cover the doughnuts with large sheets of foil and let them sit 45 minutes in a warm place until the doughnuts have puffed up to at least twice their original size.
• 5. While the doughnuts rest, make the glaze by combining water and granulated sugar in a small saucepan over medium heat. Bring mixture to a boil and then reduce heat and simmer for 1 minute, or until the solution is clear. Pour hot sugar solution into a medium mixing bowl, add the powdered sugar, meringue powder, and a pinch of salt, then use an electric mixer and mix for 2 minutes on high speed. Cover bowl with plastic wrap until you need it.
• 6. As the doughnuts rise, heat vegetable shortening in a fryer to 375 degrees F.
• 7. When the doughnuts have doubled in size, carefully transfer 2 or 3 doughnuts at a time to the hot shortening. Turn each doughnut over onto a palm of your hand, carefully remove wax paper, and then drop it into the oil. Fry for 1 minute, flip doughnut with the handle of a wooden spoon, and continue frying for an additional minute. Remove doughnuts to a cooking rack for one minute.
• 8. After a minute on the cooking rack, spoon the glaze over the top of each doughnut so that it runs down the sides and off onto the plate below the cooking rack. In between each glazing stir the glaze so that it stays smooth. If glaze begins to thicken, stir in just a little bit of hot water to thin it out. Let the glazed doughnuts cool 5 minutes before eating. Don't store doughnuts in a sealed container or moisture from the doughnuts will melt the glaze. Instead, store them covered loosely with aluminum foil. Stored this way the doughnuts will be good for about 1 day

• 5. Allow cut doughnuts to rise another 30-45 min.
• 6. Fry 1-2 min. each side at 365 F. (I used brand new lard to fry them) Once golden brown on one side, turn and cook other side till golden brown. Place on paper towel to drain grease. Once cooled for a few min dip in Glaze and set on cooling rack or plate to cool.
• 7. GLAZE and MARSHMALLOW CREME: Mix the ingredients together and whip till combined and smooth. Same directions for both glaze and marshmallow creme.

Steps:

• In a large measuring jug, combine the milk and boiling water. Add a teaspoon of the sugar and the yeast. Stir it gently, then leave it in a warm place for the yeast to activate (aka foam).
• In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour, the rest of the sugar, and the salt. Cut in the butter using your fingers or a pastry blender, until it resembles crumbs.
• Add the egg (give it a quick beat) and yeast mixture to the flour mix, and mix into a smooth dough. This usually takes about 5 minutes of mixing.
• Turn the dough out onto a lightly-floured counter and knead for about 5 to 10 minutes-it should feel springy and little bubbles should form under the surface. Place it back in the bowl, cover with a cloth or plastic wrap, and let rise for about an hour until double in size.
• Once risen, place the dough onto the counter and cut it into 4 pieces. One piece at a time, stretch it into a long rope about an inch to an inch and a half wide. Cut strips about an inch long, ball em up with your hands, and place them on a baking tray or wire rack to wait.
• Cover the doughnuts holes with a cloth to rise while you heat the oil to 375°F.
• Place the doughnuts into the oil and fry until golden brown on each side, about 2 minutes. Be sure to fry only a few at a time so they don't overcrowd and stick together.
• Drain on a paper towel or wire rack over a cloth, before glazing them. Be sure to glaze them warm, or else they won't get that delicious coverage!

KRISPY KREME DOUGHNUTS

Steps:

• Doughnut Directions:.
• Heat the milk to 100*F. You can do this in the microwave or on the stove top.
• Stir in the yeast until it is dissolved or close to dissolved.
• Transfer to a medium-sized bowl and mix in 3/4 cup plus 2 tablespoons of the bread flour. Stir until smooth.
• Cover the bowl (I like to use my cloth bowl covers for this) to prevent drying out and place in a warm spot to rise.
• When the batter has doubled in size (about an hour, depending on the temperature of your house), add it to a mixer fitted with a paddle attachment.
• Add the egg yolks, superfine sugar, and salt. Mix on low speed until smooth.
• Mix in vanilla extract and butter until smooth.
• With the mixer running, slowly add the rest of the flour (1-1/4 cups + 2 tablespoons). Keep mixing until the batter just comes together into a smooth dough. It will be quite wet and sticky, but should be able to hold together as one "lump" of dough. If not, add a bit more flour, one tablespoon at a time.
• Lift the ball of dough up and brush the bottom of the bowl lightly with vegetable oil.
• Cover the bowl again and place in a warm spot to rise.
• Once the dough has doubled in size (another hour or so), refrigerate it for 15 minutes. This will make it easier to roll out.
• On a well-floured surface, gently roll out the dough to about 3/8" to 1/2" thickness.
• Use cookie cutters to stamp out whatever shapes you like. I used a 3 1/2" circle for the large doughnuts with a 1-1/4" hole. For the minis, I used a 1-1/2" circle with a 15/16" hole (all of these cutters come in the same set). Save the holes to fry up as well, or roll the batter out again to make more doughnuts.
• Place the stamped dough on a parchment- or Silpat-lined cookie sheet, cover with plastic, and allow to rise again in a warm spot.
• Once the doughnuts are almost doubled in size (another hour or so), heat oil in a large pot or deep fryer until it reaches 360*F. I strongly prefer to fry in a deep fryer. It keeps everything so much cleaner and perfectly regulates the temperature.
• Fry the doughnuts in batches until golden brown on each side (you'll need to flip them mid-fry). The total frying time will be under 2 minutes. Use tongs to flip and retrieve them.
• Set hot doughnuts on paper towels to absorb extra oil.
• Glaze Directions:.
• Mix all ingredients in a small bowl until smooth.
• Drizzle over piping hot doughnuts.
• Note: If necessary, to reheat doughnuts in the microwave for about twenty seconds.

KRISPY KREME DOUGHNUTS AND DOUGHNUT HOLES (OHHH SO EASY)

• Stretch the biscuit out as big as can without tearing.
• Mix the glaze together until it's really creamy.
• Fry the biscuit in hot oil (med-high heat) until golden brown and flip it over w/ a fork and fry the other side.
• Remove the doughnut and place it on a plate covered w/ a paper towel.
• Then while it's still hot dip the doughnut in the creamy glaze.
• The holes that you have roll them gently forming a ball and fry and dip them in the glaze.

Steps:

• Cut out a hole in the center of each biscuit.
• Deep fry until brown (or fry in skillet), turning doughnuts once.
• Do not crowd.
• Drain well on paper towels.
• Because the biscuit dough has little, if any, sugar, you will want to either roll them in powdered sugar, cinnamon and sugar mix (1/2 powdered sugar and 1/2 granulated sugar with cinnamon to taste), or glaze them (regular or chocolate).

Steps:

• Mix together ingredients for glaze.
• Melt butter in hot milk, add 1 tsp sugar and salt. Allow to cool.

• Let them cool on a paper towel - helps get the glaze to stick.
• Dip in warm glaze.
