Cooking time: 130 minutes

Ingredients

Milk
240 Milliliter
Heavy cream
80 Milliliter
Butter
6 Table Spoon
Vegetable oil
180 Milliliter
Powdered white sugar
305 Grams
Refined wheat flour
4 Cup
Whole egg raw
120 Grams
Salt
0.5 Tea Spoon
Vanilla flavour essence
1.5 Tea Spoon
Yeast instant dried
2 Tea Spoon
Nutmeg powder
0.5 Tea Spoon

Instructions

1
Prepare the dough
Whisk the warm milk, yeast, and 1 Tablespoon sugar together in the bowl of your stand mixer. Loosely cover and allow to sit for 5–10 minutes until foamy and frothy on top.
2
Add remaining ingredients
Add the remaining sugar, the eggs, butter, vanilla, nutmeg, salt, and 2 cups (about 250g) flour.
3
Dough preparation
Beat on low speed for 1 minute. Scrape down the sides of the bowl with a rubber spatula as needed. Add remaining flour and beat on medium speed until the dough comes together and pulls away from the sides of the bowl, about 2 minutes. If needed, add more flour, 1 Tablespoon at a time, until the dough pulls away from the sides of the bowl. Don’t add too much flour, though. You want a slightly sticky dough.
4
Knead the dough
Keep the dough in the mixer fitted with a dough hook attachment and beat on low speed for an additional 5–7 minutes, or knead by hand on a lightly floured surface for 5–7 minutes. After kneading, the dough should be smooth and elastic, but still feel a little soft. Poke it with your finger—if it slowly bounces back, your dough is ready to rise. If not, keep kneading.
5
Let Dough Rise
Lightly grease a large bowl with oil or nonstick spray. Place the dough in the bowl, turning it to coat all sides in the oil. Cover the bowl and allow the dough to rise in a relatively warm environment for 1.5–2 hours or until double in size.
6
Shape Doughnuts
When the dough is ready, punch it down to release the air. Remove dough from the bowl and turn it out onto a lightly floured surface. Using a rolling pin, roll the dough out until it is 1/2 inch thick. Using a 3–3.5-inch doughnut cutter, cut into doughnuts. Re-roll the scraps and cut more.
7
Place donuts on baking sheets
Line 1 or 2 baking sheets with parchment paper or silicone baking mats. Place doughnuts on each. Loosely cover and allow to rest for 30 minutes as you heat the oil. They will rise a bit as they rest. Place a cooling rack over another baking sheet.
8
Bake in stove
Pour oil into a large heavy-duty pot fitted with an oil thermometer. Turn stove on to medium heat. Heat oil to 375°F (191°C). Add 2–3 doughnuts at a time and cook for 1 minute on each side. Carefully remove with a metal slotted spatula or metal slotted spoon. Be sure to lower stove’s temperature if oil temperature is rising; you want it to stay at 375°F (191°C). Wear kitchen gloves if oil is splashing. Place fried doughnuts onto prepared rack. Repeat with remaining doughnuts, then turn off heat.
9
Make the glaze
Whisk all the glaze ingredients together. Dip each warm doughnut (don’t wait for them to cool!) into the glaze, making sure to coat both sides. Place back onto prepared rack, as excess glaze drips down. After about 20 minutes, the glaze will set.
10
Serve
Doughnuts are best enjoyed the same day. You can store leftover doughnuts in an airtight container at room temperature or in the refrigerator for another day or two.

Glycemic Index

75 High
Low
Medium
High

Likely to produce a faster blood glucose rise; keep portions controlled and pair with protein/fiber.

How to flatten the spike

  • Pair this dish with a protein source (dal, paneer, eggs, fish, or curd).
  • Add a fiber-rich side salad or non-starchy vegetables.
  • Avoid combining this with another high-carb side in the same meal.

Health Goals Suitability

Weight Loss

At 375.4 kcal per serving, this is a higher-kcal dish. The refined carbs contribute to calorie density — consider whole grain alternatives. Enjoy as an occasional treat, or reduce the portion to half for better calorie control.

Diabetes

Higher glycemic index (GI: 75) means this can cause blood sugar spikes. The refined carbohydrates contribute to rapid glucose absorption. Diabetics should consume smaller portions and always pair with protein and fiber to slow digestion.

Muscle Gain

Low protein content (6.3g per serving) — not sufficient alone for muscle building. Combine with high-protein sides like paneer, eggs, chicken, dal, or a protein shake to reach 25-30g protein per meal.

Heart Health

Watch your intake — saturated fat (5.3g) is on the higher side. Reduce ghee/oil and use olive or mustard oil for healthier fats.

PCOS

Moderate-to-high GI (75) can spike insulin — Women with PCOS should pair this with fiber-rich vegetables and a protein source to improve the insulin response. Consider replacing refined ingredients with whole grains or millets.

Thyroid

No goitrogenic ingredients — generally safe for thyroid conditions.

Portion Guidance

Weight Loss

1 Piece (~97.3g) or slightly less. Pair with a high-fiber side like cucumber raita or salad to feel full on fewer kcal.

Muscle Gain

1 Piece (~97.3g) plus a protein-rich addition (100g paneer, 2 eggs, or 1 cup dal) to hit 25-30g protein per meal.

Diabetes

1 Piece (~97.3g). Pair with whole wheat roti (not rice) to lower glycemic load. Eat protein and fiber portions first, carbs last.

General

1 Piece (~97.3g) provides a balanced portion. Adjust based on your daily kcal target — track accurately in the Hint app.

Recipe Modifications

Lower fat

Use low-fat paneer or reduce ghee/butter by half. Switch to a non-stick pan to minimize oil.

Boost protein

Increase the protein portion (chicken/fish/eggs) by 50g, or serve with a side of Greek yogurt.

Lower glycemic load

Replace refined flour (maida) with whole wheat atta, or swap white rice with brown rice or millets like jowar/bajra.

Reduce calories

Reduce serving size by 25% to save ~93.9 kcal. Add extra vegetables (capsicum, spinach, mushrooms) to increase volume without adding many kcal.

Make diabetes-friendly

Replace potato with cauliflower or bottle gourd. Add a squeeze of lemon — the acidity lowers glycemic response.

Meal prep friendly

Glazed Donut stores well for 2-3 days refrigerated. Reheat on stovetop for best texture. Prepare ingredients in advance for quick weeknight cooking.

Common Mistakes

Using too much oil or ghee

Why it matters: Excess oil can double the calorie content without adding nutritional value.

Fix: Measure oil with a tablespoon instead of pouring freely. 1 tbsp = 120 kcal.

Not measuring serving size

Why it matters: The nutrition values are for 1 standard serving. Eating 2-3x the serving means 2-3x the kcal (750.8-1126.2 kcal).

Fix: Use the Hint app to scan and log the exact portion you eat for accurate tracking.

Pairing with another high-GI food

Why it matters: Eating rice with another starchy dish doubles the glycemic load, causing sharp blood sugar spikes.

Fix: Choose one carb source per meal. Pair with roti instead of rice, or add a protein-rich side.
