To make with one package of yeast, scale recipe down to 18 doughnuts. Can't wait to make and review - no Krispy Kreme shops now that I've left the states, sadly.

    My kids LOVED these doughnuts. I made a batch, let them rise the first rise, cut them out and immediately threw them in the freezer to freeze them. Then, I pulled out what I need, let them thaw and rise for 1 hour and cooked them...PERFECT! In fact my son said that the frozen batch turned out better than the fresh batch I made.

    Wonderful, and very close to the real thing! I noticed that my first batch into the oil turned a dark brown rapidly, but subsequent batches into the same oil took a bit longer. So, my advice would be to maybe toss in the doughnut holes first, let those cook, and then proceed to cooking the actual donuts. Also, I noticed (trial and error, lol) that my first batch, I took them out of the oil and let them cool on parchment paper. The oil doesn't soak into parchment paper, so was still sort of retained on the surface of the donut, and so then when I dunked them in the glaze, it tended to slip right off, lol. So, draining on a paper towel helps get that leftover grease off and helps get the glaze to stick. Wonderful recipe, thank you for posting! Can't wait to experiment with fillings like a previous poster did. My 2 year old is sitting in his highchair now, eating his 3rd! If he likes it, it must be good!
