Joffrey’s Giant Pink Donuts Copycat Recipe
Ingredients
- 1/3 cup warm water (110 degrees)
- 2 packets active dry yeast
- 1 1/2 cups milk
- 5 TBSP butter
- 2 eggs, beaten
- 1/4 cup sugar
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 5 cups all purpose flour
- oil for frying
- 2 cups confectioners sugar
- 1/2 tsp strawberry extract
- 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
- 2-3 TBSP milk
- rainbow sprinkles
Instructions
- In a large bowl, or stand mixer bowl, add warm water, and sprinkle yeast on top. Let sit for 5 minutes.
- Heat the milk and butter to about 110 degrees, or until butter is melted. Add to yeast mixture. Add in the sugar, salt, and eggs. Mix until combined.
- Add in half the flour, and combine using a dough hook. Add remaining flour. Knead with dough hook for about 5 minutes, until the dough comes clean from the sides of the bowl. If needed, add more flour, 1/2 cup at a time.
- Place in a greased bowl, cover, and let rise for 1-2 hours, or until doubled in size.
- Dump the dough out onto a floured surface. Roll into 1/2 inch thickness. Cut the donuts out with a cookie cutter or large glass. Cut a slit in the center and form a hole. Place on a parchment lined baking sheet. Cover, and let rise an additional 30 minutes.
- Heat about 2 inches of oil in a deep skillet or pot to 350 degrees. Fry donuts, 2 or 3 at a time, for about 2-3 minutes per side. Transfer to a wire rack, and cool for 20 minutes.
- Meanwhile, make the glaze by combining the confectioners sugar, extracts, food dye, and milk. Start with 2 TBSP. You want the glaze to be thick enough to coat the donut. Add sprinkles on top.
