I was watching TLC last week in which there was a program on Krispy Kreme Donuts. I was fascinated by the process of making the donuts. Yesterday when I was browsing the net for some recipes I saw the recipe for Krispy Kreme donuts. The glaze for the donuts was just like I saw in the program and I was interested. I noted down the recipe and tried it out today. The result was amazing. I just loved the soft donuts with the nice sweet glaze. Has anyone tasted paal bun available in tea shops in Tamil Nadu? This donut tastes just like it with the extra flavour of butter. This is the first time I am preparing the deep fried version of donuts and I am so happy with the result. Last time when I visited Chennai, I bought some chocolate coated mini donuts for my daughter from City Centre. So when I told that I was going to try donuts, she was so happy but when she saw that these donuts are with out the chocolate glaze, she was very much disappointed and she didn’t want to taste them. But PK liked it very much. So next time I am planning to do some mini donuts with chocolate glaze just to satisfy Sruti. This also makes a great party snack. So for the fifth day of the month long Blogging Marathon I am posting it under Party Special..
1. In a bowl mix flour, sugar, salt, yeast and shortening.
2. In a bowl mix curd and baking soda and mix well.
3. Add this to the flour mixture and mix well.
4. Add warm milk to the flour and knead to make a sticky dough. If there is still flour, add 2-3 tbs of water to bind every thing together.
5. Take the dough to the counter and knead it for 10 minutes until soft, smooth and elastic.
6. Place the dough in a clean bowl and cover with a cling wrap.
7. Set it aside to prove.
8. After 1 hour or after the dough is double in volume, deflate it.
9. Dust it with flour and roll it into a disc of 1/3″ thick.
10. If you have a donut cutter cut out donuts out of the rolled out disc. Otherwise use a bowl 3 1/2″ in diameter to cut out the outer circle. The with an 1″ cap of a bottle cut out the inside of the circle.
11. Arrange the cut out donuts on a tray.
12. Cover with a kitchen towel and keep it aside for 30-40 minutes.
13. Meanwhile make the glaze.
14. In a bowl take sugar and vanilla essence. Melt butter and add it to the sugar.
15. Add milk and mix well. Keep it aside.
16. Heat oil in a pan.
17. After the donuts are proved, deep fry 2 at a time until golden. Fry on medium flame.
18. Remove from oil and arrange on plate.
19. After finishing with all the donuts, dip each donut in the glaze and coat it well.
20. Place a wire rack on a tray to catch the dripping glaze.
21. Arrange the glazed donuts on the wire rack.
22. Let it air dry for 1 hour.
23. Store in airtight box. It is better to refrigerate the remaining donuts.
Mix flour, sugar, salt, yeast, dalda and curd.
Add milk and make a sticky dough.
Knead for 10 minutes.
Keep it aside until double.
Roll out the dough into a disc. Cut out the outer circle.
Using a small cutter cut the inner circle.
Place the donuts on a tray.
Keep it aside until double.
Deep fry the donuts until golden.
Drain and place on a plate.
Mix sugar, vanilla and butter.
Add milk and make the glaze.
Dip the donuts in the glaze.
Arrange on wire rack.
Dip the small donuts in the glaze.
Who wants one???
These mini donuts were so tasty…

I love painting, dress designing and of course cooking. This blog which started as an online cookery book has given me a great insight into baking and has transformed me into a home baker who is now thriving to learn a lot about cakes and decorating techniques. This blog has thousands of tried and tasted vegetarian recipes around the world and eggless bakes.
I just met and I love your blog! your photographs are beautiful, so now I’m your follower! luck in your projects! I leave my blog in case you want to follow me!, kisses! http://siempremisspetula.blogspot.com.es
i have not had the chance to try krispy kreme donuts yet (despite asking hubby to take me there many times to know what the hype is all about) – but i sure would want to eat them at the “drain and place on a plate” stage than the “dip the donuts in the glaze” stage! 😀
OMG!! I LOVE Krispy Kreme Doughnuts and if you had just given me this would have thought it is from the store! Loved them! I have bookmarked this to try out… will keep you posted on it 🙂 Thanks a lot for sharing 🙂
Hi Gayatri. Can dalda or shortening be skipped. As it is donuts r not very healthy. Adding shortening and dalda will make it more unhealthy. Being home bakers we tell our clients not to use dalda or shortening. Let me know if any other alternative is there pls.
Very nice, tempting snaps inspiring to try to make it at once. I want to know what is Mascarpone cheese and want a recipe if u know please share… I am pure veg so please post veg recipes.
Had tried donuts long long back, when I was not blogging…and I had fried them…don’t even have the recipe for that..but these look really nice, ya like Shruti, I would have loved the chocolate glaze:))
Donuts have turned out perfect. I love Krispy Kreme donuts freshly made — they just melt in the mouth. I’m guilty of eating more than I should in one sitting 🙂
I need one gayathri,couple weeks before I came across a donut recipe, it says we need to maintain temperature, how does it work do we need to check the temprature?
Kiddo and me love doughnuts and hubby used to watch us hog different flavored doughnuts at the Changi airport! Would love to make this at home. Thanks for the wonderful recipe Gayathri…
Followed your recipe to the T and it came out wonderful! Was able to make 16 doughnuts and used a chocolate glaze with multi-colored sprinklers- abs loved it! 🙂 thanks!
Hi there! It’s the first time I comment on your blog. That donuts you make looked same with the original one! It’s alwaysgood to know how to make a recipe from a chained store or franchised store by yourself, right? Krispy Kreme is good, but in my place there is another franchise donut store, it’s local, and I love them more. More light and fluffy donut. Hope I can get my hands on the recipe just like you on the Krispy Kreme donuts.
Hi, there stopping by for the very first time.. luv your blog, and luv your amazing recipes.. I luv donughts, and will definatly give these a try.. Thankyou… Do visit my place when time permits..luv Naz
The recipe look absolutely mouthwatering. Have the dough resting now…My husband cant wait to take a bite of these, so he keeps looking through the cling wrap to know if the dough has doubled!! 🙂 Will post again to let you know how they turn out. Thanks for the great recipe.
OMG…I made these n they were excellent. Everyone whom I sent to to try told me they were so much better than Dunkin Donuts. No Krispy Kreme here. Really a great recipe n I’ll definitely be making them again for my little grand niece n nephew.. Thank you for sharing sucb a wonderful recipe.
Had been meaning to make doughnuts since long and finally made them this Sunday and what a hit these were. Not too difficult to make and turned up just perfect. Thank you so much for this amazing recipe. We preferred having it without any glaze and they were still amazing.
What does shortening mean and which yeast is best .after the shape is given to donuts can we again collect the dough and make donuts again. For choclate donuts how do we do.
Shortening is vegetable fat, dalda. Or you can sub it with butter. Instant yeast is best. Try Amazon. And yes, you can collect the dough and reshape it again. To make chocolate donuts, you need to add cocoa powder to the dough itself.
Tried this recipe and made a chocolate dip as well. It was simply amazing. You are the best. Even a beginner can make these doughnuts as you have explained so well. Way to go Gayathri
They look nice.. I thought you have used doughnut maker..

You can definitely skip dalda and add butter or ghee instead.

Manju, It is just like frying vadas. You keep the flame medium and fry the donuts. Take care to get even browning with out burning the donuts.

Lovely doughnuts Gayathri. I usually buy them since kids get to choose a lot of variety.
Followed your recipe to the T and it came out wonderful!

Can I use butter for shortening and will it be the same amount. Thanks
Yes, you can use. Use the same quantity.
Can buttet be used instead of shortening. Thx..
Yes, you can use..

Instead of frying can I bake them and get near ok result? Or shud i add a 1tsp baking powder?
Yes, you can bake these donuts. No need to add any ingredient in the dough. Once the shaped donuts are ready bake in 200 oven until done.
Had been meaning to make doughnuts since long and finally made them this Sunday and what a hit these were. Not too difficult to make and turned up just perfect. Thank you so much for this amazing recipe. We preferred having it without any glaze and they were still amazing.
I am so glad that you tried it Nupur!
