Krispy Kreme Copycat Doughnuts
"These Krispy Kreme Copycat Doughnuts were BETTER than those at Krispy Kreme because I could taste all the necessary components of the doughnut - the sugar, the soft, melt-in-your-mouth texture, and the yeasty, fried dough. Amazing. Please let me know if you plan to make or have tried out these yeasty, sugar "pillows"...."
