☺️💡To all guys: Remember Commercial donut brands uses a pre-prepared instant donut flour (they just need put water and in 5 mins the dough is ready🤷🏻‍♀️), so let me tell you Aimee's recipe is a wonderful and amazing traditional donut could really be sold same or at higher price than the comercial ones. It worths the effort you put doing it, cause the value of this is that you did it yourself and the satisfaction is priceless ❤️

AMAZING (PRETTY MUCH FOOLPROOF) RECIPE - A MUST TRY. Thank you so much for this recipe! Ever since I saw this video I've been wanting to try it but I decided to use your recipe to make one large donut because of how airy it was described (since larger donuts would be more prone to doughiness). I had to wing some aspects of it: I don't have a stand mixer so I had to mix by hand for about 20 minutes with a spatula and I ended up using aluminum foil instead of parchment paper. I also opted for chocolate and sprinkles instead of glaze. The outside definitely looks much darker than the video but the inside was PHENOMENAL. It was light, airy, and not too sweet. Next time I might make it a tad sweeter with some honey and sugar. Thank you so much again.

[@kerriohs]

Aimee I'm obsessed with your channel! I'm making your bahn mi right now, it's doing the final proof. Love your videos and they're super informative, I like how you show the stages of dough, it's so helpful. Keep it up!

I tried and they turned out great! The dough was very tacky but I had to resist adding more flour. I put it in the fridge overnight after the first rise and made doughnuts in the morning. Also I didn’t have regular ap flour so I used Korean wheat flour instead. You’re such a genius, Krispy Kreme got nothing on you. Thank you so much for this delicious recipe! 😃

These really are close to the Krispy Kreme style doughnut, though less sweet and a more pleasant “chew” than “melt” in the mouth. Very good, not too sweet, beautiful structure-light, airy, and slightly chewy-didn’t absorb much oil, just a very nice doughnut all around. Thank you so much for the recipe! Steve K.

Donuts turned out great everyone loved them. Thank you! I couldn’t get my dough the same consistency after five or eight minutes in the kitchen aid (setting #4). It remained very sticky for some reason but still turned out good in the end.

[@AimeesCooking]

Thank you for trying. Different batches of flour can have more moisture than others. Consistency might be slightly different. No worries. You can add just a little more flour next time. That will take care of the problem 😉

@@bobby3509 From what I remembered it wasn't stale or dry the next day. The sugar glaze got a little sticky and hardened the next day. I popped the donut in the microwave for about 6-8 seconds and it was soft and fluffy again, but not as good as when it was fresh.

[@ssj4punkrocker]

@@AimeesCooking One question, when i'm cutting out the donuts, they tend to shrink. Is this because i'm not kneading it long enough in the mixer?

[@AimeesCooking]

Just let the dough rest a little after cutting and you can roll it out a little more if needed. It shrinks because it was just handled in the flattened step.

[@shannondore]

These look amazing! 😋 I love Krispy kream donuts but the one near me always has a line around the building and you gotta wait forever. I'm gonna have to try this recipe. 😊

This looks great! Have you tried making the dough and cutting it out the night before? I’m wondering if it will work just as well Love your recipes! Thank you for sharing!

[@AimeesCooking]

I have not but probably can. Best to place in the fridge right after cutting. If it rise too much overnight the donut will be too airy and absorb lots of oil when fried.

I’ve made this recipe among others and this one is a winner! I’d like to double this recipe and wanted to know whether I’d have to double the yeast as well? Thank you 😊

[@ahmedm6041]

This is the best demonstration I see in KZbin!! I haven't make it yet but I know it'll be the best one. To me the best yeast donut should be a little chewy, little pull and not too sweet. Unlike Krispy Cream donut it's too sweet!. By the way all of us would like to see more of your cooking please...! Thank you!🏆🙏

Hey Aimee, I made these this last night, and let chill until this morning. Although I do not have a stand mixer, 20 minutes with a wooden spoon did the trick! Thanks for the directions! I was successful. Made a cream cheese frosting and covered with crushed Oreos. Yum. I am experimenting with freezing one, my guess is the product quality will decrease drastically.

hey aimee i know this comment is a bit late but would you suggest to substitute shorting with the butter because i’ve heard that shortening is alote better to use than butter but i would rather hear it from you

Using a 13 to 15 oz. tin can with top & bottom cut out for cutting doughnuts, then a small tomato paste can ( cut both ends out) & use that to cut hole in middle out. Works great!

[@vincentslearningwithkids9476]

Hi Aimee - Thanks for these recipes! I loved your banh mi one and tried this one today. It tastes great at the end but not quite right in shape. When I used the cookie cutters, my dough shrunk! Do you think it was because I over-beat it? It wasn’t staying on the hook as you mentioned so I kept beating....

[@AimeesCooking]

Did you shape after letting the dough rest for at least 1 - 1.5 hrs? At that point the dough should be relax and very easy to work with. Make sure when you pour out the dough onto the counter that you don’t knead it, just flatten it lightly and slowly like how I did in the video. The only time that it will shrink back after you shape is right after you work with it (knead it). Lots of tension and not relaxed.

[@vincentslearningwithkids9476]

Aimee's Cooking you’re right! Originally I flattened it too much and it wasn’t working so I had to bring it back together. I let it rest for 20 mins but maybe that wasn’t enough to let it relax. I’ll definitely try again. Thanks again!!

[@MIKEMIKE0219]

I'm making your doughnuts right now! Quick question (hopefully you see this before I get to it 😅)... is the glaze to dip supposed to be warm or cooler?

[@AimeesCooking]

The glaze itself? When your donuts are cooling down, that’s when you want to start mixing the glaze. Melt the butter and milk in the microwave. Should only take 30 seconds or so. Add vanilla and pour everything into the powdered sugar. Mix everything well. The mixture by this point is room temp. Don’t leave the glaze sitting too long or else a sugar layer will harden and the glaze won’t be smooth.
