Recipe: how to make Krispy Creme glazed doughnuts at home

Ingredients

• 475ml milk
• 4 eggs
• 100g sugar
• 425g self raising flour
• 115g butter
• 2 tsp dried yeast
• 1 tsp salt
• 1/2 tsp nutmeg
• 255g icing sugar
• 45ml water
• 1 tsp vanilla extract

Instructions

The doughnuts

1. Put the milk, the butter and a teaspoon of salt in a bowl or jug and microwave for 1 minute.
2. Add the sugar, the nutmeg and 4 beaten eggs and whisk until mixed.
3. Mix in the yeast.
4. Add the self raising flour in steps, mixing well between each step until it's all in. It will be really sticky by this point, like this:
5. Leave it to rest for an hour.
6. On a lightly floured surface, knead the dough until smooth (it'll take a few minutes and some elbow grease!) and roll it out to about an inch thick.
7. Using a large and a small round cutter, cut out circles and then smaller circles within them to form the ring shapes.
8. Deep fry in vegetable oil until golden (it should take 2-3 minutes on each side)
9. Drain them on a paper towel.

The glaze

1. Combine the icing sugar, water and vanilla extract till it's loose but coats the spoon.
2. Toss the (now cool) doughnuts about in it till they are completely coated in glaze.
3. Let them dry, or eat them straight away!
