The Original Krispy Kreme Glazed My Glazed Euphoria Doughnuts

Instructions:

1. Combine warm milk, yeast, and a teaspoon of sugar in a bowl. Let stand for 5-10 minutes until foamy.
2. In the bowl of a stand mixer (or a large bowl), combine the yeast mixture, remaining sugar, salt, eggs, and melted butter.
3. Gradually add the flour, mixing on low speed (or kneading by hand) until a soft, slightly sticky dough forms. Knead for 5-7 minutes until smooth and elastic.
4. Place the dough in a lightly oiled bowl, turning to coat. Cover with plastic wrap and let rise in a warm place for 2-3 hours, or until doubled in size.
5. Gently punch down the dough to release air. On a lightly floured surface, roll the dough out to ½-inch thickness.
6. Use a doughnut cutter (or two different-sized round cutters) to cut out doughnuts and doughnut holes.
7. Place the cut doughnuts on parchment paper-lined baking sheets. Cover loosely with plastic wrap and let rise for 30-45 minutes, or until puffy.
8. Heat vegetable oil in a Dutch oven or deep fryer to 350°F (175°C).
9. Carefully lower doughnuts into the hot oil, 2-3 at a time. Fry for 1-1.5 minutes per side, until golden brown.
10. Remove doughnuts with a slotted spoon and place them on a wire rack to drain excess oil.
11. While doughnuts are cooling, whisk together powdered sugar, hot water, corn syrup, vanilla extract, and salt until smooth.
12. Dip warm doughnuts into the glaze, coating both sides. Return to the wire rack to allow excess glaze to drip off.
13. Serve immediately and enjoy your Glazed Euphoria!
