"Krispy Kreme Doughnuts Recipe with Step by Step Pictures. These pillow like doughnuts have a secret ingredient in them which creates the iconic texture. Super easy to make and taste amazing with a cup of coffee."
I tried krispy kreme doughnuts few years back when we were on a vacation. I really loved the texture of the doughnuts, they were so pillowy and has a chewy light airy texture to it. Ever since i tasted those i always wondered how they would make the dough.
I have made quite a few version of donuts on my channel. But none of it got the texture right. Few days back i tried mochi doughnuts recipe and instantly got a idea of adding glutinous rice flour in it to get the krispy kreme like texture. I know that i have to play with ingredient measurements to get the perfect texture.
