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..
They look nice.. I thought you have used doughnut maker..

Wow.. Such a good looking perfect donut mam.. U cud have spread some nutella on top and maybe Sruti wud have liked it 🙂
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! 😀
Looks stunning Gayathri..loved those cute mini ones..
Oh… this is so yummy and tempting… 🙂
OMG, these look so like the donuts from Krispy Creme ! Very nicely done!!

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.
You can definitely skip dalda and add butter or ghee instead.
awesome recipe …
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.
Donuts look delicious and mouthwatering. I have tried donuts but will try this recipe using yogurt next time.
Looks so delicious ! I want one..
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:))
Looks delicious…
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?
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.
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…
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!
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.
Love from Indonesia,
Stephanny
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.
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..
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.
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!
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
Thank you for sharing!I am so glad you liked them.
