Ingredients
Basic Ingredients
- 2 cups all-purpose flour Can substitute with whole wheat or gluten-free flour.
- ½ cup granulated sugar Brown sugar or coconut sugar can be used as substitutes.
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- ½ teaspoon salt
- ½ teaspoon nutmeg
- ½ cup milk Almond milk or oat milk can be used for a dairy-free version.
- 2 large eggs Flax eggs can be used as a vegan substitute.
- ¼ cup unsalted butter, melted Coconut oil or dairy-free butter can be used as substitutes.
- as needed Vegetable oil for frying
Instructions
Preparation
- In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, salt, and nutmeg.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the milk, eggs, and melted unsalted butter until fully combined.
- Gently pour the wet mixture into the dry ingredients. Stir until just combined; over-mixing can lead to tough donuts.
- In a deep pan, add vegetable oil and heat it to 375°F (190°C).
- Transfer the batter into a piping bag or a zip-lock bag with the corner cut off. Pipe the batter into the hot oil, forming donut shapes.
Cooking
- Fry the donuts for 2-3 minutes on each side until they are golden brown.
- Once golden brown, remove the donuts from the oil and place them on paper towels to drain excess oil.
- Let your donuts cool. Prepare a simple glaze using powdered sugar and a bit of milk or your favorite icing.
- Drizzle or dip the cooled donuts, adding sprinkles or toppings as desired.
Serving
- Serve your warm homemade Krispy Kremes to family and friends.
Notes
Cooking in batches ensures your oil temperature stays consistent.
