Homemade Krispy Kremes Donuts
Ingredients:
• 2 1/4 tsp active dry yeast
• 1/4 cup (50g) granulated sugar
• 1/2 cup (120ml) warm milk
• 1/4 cup (57g) unsalted butter, melted
• 1/2 tsp salt
• 1/2 tsp ground nutmeg
• 1 large egg
• 3 to 3 1/2 cups (360-420g) all-purpose flour
• Oil for frying
• 2 cups (240g) powdered sugar
• 1/4 cup (60ml) hot water
• 1 tsp vanilla extract
Instructions:
• Dissolve yeast in warm milk and stir in 1 tsp of sugar. Let it sit for about 5 minutes until foamy.
• In a large bowl, mix melted butter, remaining sugar, salt, nutmeg, and egg. Add the yeast mixture.
• Gradually incorporate flour until a dough forms. Knead until smooth, about 5 minutes.
• Let the dough rise in a warm place until doubled in size, about 1 hour.
• Roll out the dough and cut into donut shapes. Let them rise again for about 30 minutes.
