Krispy Kreme Doughnuts

Most of you have probably experienced the joy of biting into a Krispy Kreme doughnut. Well the only thing that i can think of that doesn’t like Krispy Kreme is... your wallet. Here in Canada Krispy Kreme is imported from the USA and for like 12 doughnuts its a little over $6.00. By myself i can polish off 6 in a matter of minutes. So I like to get things for free, or at the very least cheaper, so I teamed up with my mom who is a baker fanatic to "Crack" Krispy Kreme’s recipe. I am so satisfied with the results, and if you try this I know you will be to.
