The Best Glazed Donut Recipe. It’s super light, fluffy, and just the right amount of sweetness.

[@cynthiaherrera4633]

☺️💡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 ❤️

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! 😃

[@AimeesCooking]

Thank you for your positive feedback!! 🤗🤗💕

[@stephenkormanyos766]

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.

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.

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.

[@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.

[@Mae-rx5mo]

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.

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!

Nice!

[@ctee80]

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.

[@adnacraigo6590]

Yours look better and more fluffy than all the other recipes that I have seen. I didn't see any nutmeg in your recipe though and I think that could be the spice that I can taste in kk. Have you tried that yet?

[@AimeesCooking]

That’s awesome. I would say make sure the donut is not hot, let it cool down some before glazing. Also, might help if you cut back on the liquid in the glaze if it seems too runny. Hope that helps 😃❤️

[@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 😉

[@bdjayden]

Hi Aimee, I've tried this recipe twice now. Second time wasn't as good as first and I have no idea why. Dough was more yeast like, chewy, gluggy second time round even though it's well cooked. Could I have over proofed the dough OR under knead the dough ? I did see loaded of webs when I took the dough out of the proofing bowl. It was so soft, not firm like your dough after proofing. What could be wrong?

[@AimeesCooking]

If it’s yeasty and chewy, it’s over proofed. Decrease the proofing time and match the dough to mine 🙂

[@bdjayden]

@@AimeesCooking I think so altho I proof in warm oven for 1.5hrs. When I took it out, or felt sticky and flimsy not firm like yours . I do think it was different to my first time too. Could it also be that I didn't knead enough. I hand kneaded for 20 mins, it was still sticker than your dough. I didn't know what to do so I stopped kneading and proofed it. Tempted to make 3rd batch.

[@bdjayden]

@@AimeesCooking I follow your glaze and kids would lick it all. I can't seem to get it did dry though, even in the open till next day it just doesn't dry. We're in winter too in Sydney...lol. Any ideas why Aimee?

[@AimeesCooking]

Dough should be smooth. Knead longer and decrease proofing time.

[@AimeesCooking]

Make sure the donut is not greasy when you add to the glaze. Add a little more powered sugar if it’s too runny. Glaze when the donuts are slightly warm.

[@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.

[@maryadrianeaguado5632]

Can i use water instead of milk

[@AimeesCooking]

Yes but texture might be less moist and fluffy.

[@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!!
