Homemade Krispy Kreme–Style Donuts

Treat yourself to the irresistible, melt-in-your-mouth delight of homemade donuts inspired by the classic Krispy Kreme style. With this simple recipe, you can create soft, airy donuts topped with a smooth, sweet glaze—fresh from your own kitchen and just as satisfying as your favorite bakery version.


Ingredients

For the Donuts:

  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • ¼ cup lukewarm whole milk
  • ¼ cup lukewarm water
  • 2 teaspoons active dry yeast
  • 1 egg, at room temperature
  • 3 tablespoons granulated sugar
  • ¼ cup butter, softened
  • A pinch of kosher salt
  • Oil for frying

For the Glaze:

  • 2 cups powdered (confectioners’) sugar
  • ¼ cup lukewarm whole milk
  • 2 tablespoons heavy cream
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Instructions

1. Proof the Yeast

In a bowl, combine the warm milk and water with a small amount of the sugar and yeast. Let the mixture rest until it becomes foamy and bubbly.

2. Mix the Dry Ingredients

In a separate bowl, blend the flour, salt, and softened butter until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.

3. Form the Dough

Add the remaining sugar, egg, and activated yeast mixture to the flour blend. Knead the dough until it becomes smooth, soft, and elastic.

4. Let It Rise

Place the dough in a lightly greased bowl, cover, and allow it to rise for about one hour, or until it doubles in size.

5. Shape the Donuts

Roll out the dough on a floured surface and cut into donut shapes. Set them aside to rise again until puffy.

6. Fry Until Golden

Heat oil in a deep pan and fry the donuts in batches, cooking each side until golden brown. Remove and drain on paper towels.

7. Prepare the Glaze

Whisk together the powdered sugar, milk, heavy cream, and vanilla until silky and smooth.

8. Coat the Donuts

While the donuts are still warm, dip them into the glaze or drizzle it over the top for that classic finish.

9. Enjoy

Serve fresh for the best flavor and texture—and savor every sweet bite!
