I live in a small town, and it's very hard to find Krispy Kreme doughnuts around here! My solution: make them yourself! I love these melt-in-your-mouth doughnuts!
Doughnuts: 2(1/4 ounce) packages yeast 1⁄4 cup water (heated to 105-115) 1-1⁄2 cups lukewarm milk 1⁄2 cup sugar 1 tsp salt 2 eggs 1⁄3 cup shortening 5 cups all-purpose flour canola oil Dissolve yeast in warm water in large bowl. Add milk, sugar, salt, eggs, shortening and 2 cups flour. Beat on low for 30 seconds, scraping bowl constantly. Beat on medium speed for 2 minutes, scraping bowl occasionally. Stir in remaining flour until smooth. Cover and let rise until double, 50-60 minutes. (Dough is ready when indentation remains when touched.) Turn dough onto floured surface; roll around lightly to coat with flour. Gently roll dough 1/2-inch thick with floured rolling pin. Cut with floured doughnut cutter. Cover and let rise until double, 30-40 minutes. Heat vegetable oil in deep fryer to 350°. Slide doughnuts into hot oil with wide spatula. Turn doughnuts as they rise to the surface. Fry until golden brown, about 1 minute on each side. Remove carefully from oil (do not prick surface); drain. Creamy Glaze: 1⁄3 cup butter 2 cups powdered sugar 1- 1⁄2 tsp vanilla 4 -6 Tbsp hot water Heat butter until melted. Remove from heat. Stir in powdered sugar and vanilla until smooth. Stir in water, 1 tablespoon at a time, until desired consistency. Dip the doughnuts into creamy glaze set on rack then when slightly cooled spread chocolate frosting on top. Chocolate frosting: 1⁄3 cup butter 2 cups powdered sugar 1-1⁄2 tsp vanilla 4 -6 Tbsp hot water 4 oz milk chocolate chips or 4 ounces semi-sweet chocolate chips Heat butter and chocolate over low heat until chocolate is melted. Remove from heat. Stir in powdered sugar and vanilla until smooth. Stir in water 1 tablespoon at a time, until desired consistency. Dip in sprinkles or other toppings after chocolate if desired.
