Krispy Kreme Doughnuts Recipe

"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.

Notes

TIPS & TRICKS FOR BEST DOUGHNUTS

1. You can skip adding egg if you don't want. You can add extra milk instead of egg.
2. Instead of making vanilla glaze, you can mix little cocoa powder into the icing sugar to create chocolate glaze.
3. You can pipe any jam into the doughnuts to make filled doughnuts.
4. Vanilla custard can be filled into the doughnuts to create custard doughnuts.
5. The addition of glutinous rice flour is important to create the iconic chewy pillowy texture.

SERVING SUGGESTIONS

Doughnuts are best served on the day it is made. But you can store in a air tight container at room temp for upto 1 to 2 days. But it will lose its freshness as it sits.
