from the kthread cooks archive: fried doughnuts

Happy National Doughnut Day 2009! Last April I fried doughnuts in my mother’s kitchen because Krispy Kreme original glazed become even more beautiful then.

I’ll stand by what I wrote when I originally posted this (great comments on that post), explaining the recipe:

Why fry a doughnut that has already been fried? A turn in a hot pan caramelizes the outside of the doughnut to a crispy shell and returns the inside to a pillowy, soft state.

I hope you celebrate in style and to make these with all of you in all of your kitchens by next year this time (I’ll bring the lard)—

    “Krispy Kreme Original Glaze…obviously!” I love it!

    The Midwest is foiling my plans to celebrate, as the nearest KK is an hour away. I think we’ll be making a trip later this summer for original glazed goodness!

    Mica, understood, the Krispy Kreme here is in North Miami, so the holiday is harder (though still important) to celebrate.

    Flickr those up when your celebration happens!
