If you love Krispy Kreme doughnuts just as much as the rest of the world, but you don't live near one, or you just want to make your very own. Then here is a nearly exact replica of the original Krispy Kreme doughnut recipe.

There is one warning that comes along with this great recipe, you'll be asked to make them for every one of your friends and family for years to come. Once people find out you are capable of making your own Krispy Kreme doughnuts (taste a-likes), they'll be knocking your door down for doughnuts every day.

Here are the ingrediants you will need:

{2 Eggs, Vegetable Oil, 5 cups of all-purpose flour, 2 packages of regular or rapid rise yeast, ¼ cup of warm water, 1 ½ cups of slightly warmed milk, 2/3 cup of sugar, 1 tsp of salt, 1/3 cup of shortening, and a Creamy glaze}

If you choose to make your own creamy glaze, to match the Krispy Kreme recipe, you'll want to get these ingrediants:

{1/3 cup of butter, 2 cups of powdered sugar, 5 tsps of hot water, and 1 ½ tsp of vanilla}

Time to start baking:

Step 1: Start by dissolving the yeast in warm water in a 2 ½ quart bowl.

Step 2: Add the eggs, milk, shortening, 2 cups of the flour and salt.

Step 3: Grab your electric mixer, and beat the mixture on a low speed for about 30 seconds to a minute. Continue to beat on a medium speed for about 90 seconds to 2 minutes.

Step 4: Pour in the remainder of flour.

Step 5: Cover and allow the mixture to rise in a warm place for about an hour. (You know its read y when you push slightly on the dough and the indentation doesn't fill in again)

Step 6: Put the dough on a well floured surface and roll around lightly in order to cover with flour.

Step 7: Carefully roll the dough into a ½ inch thick with a well floured rolling pin.

Step 8: Cut with a floured doughnut cutter.

Step 9: Cover again, and continue to allow the dough to rise, until it's doubled its height. This will take about 45 minutes.

Step 10: Heat up the vegetable oil in a deep fryer and make sure the temperature reaches 350 degrees.

Step 11: Place all of the doughnuts into the oil very carefully to avoid splattering burns, and to make sure the mixture stays in the doughnut shape.

Step 12: Fry the doughnuts until they reach a golden brown color, which will take about 1 minute on each side.

Step 13: Remove very carefully from the oil, and place on a draining spoon.

Step 14: Dip the doughnuts into the glaze, and then set aside to dry and cool.

Here are the directions to making the creamy glaze:

Step 1: Melt the butter in a sauce pan.

Step 2: Remove from the heat and stir in the powdered sugar, and then add the vanilla.

Step 3: Stir until smooth, and then slowly add in the water 1 tbs at a time. You can make the mixture thicker by adding less water.

That's all there is to it. Now you have your very own home made Krispy Kreme replicated doughnuts!
