What Do You Need To Make Biscoff Donuts?
- Active dry yeast: Yeast is a leavening agent that we use in donut dough. I have used active dried yeast for this recipe.
- Flour: I have used all-purpose flour and gotten good results.
- Eggs: Eggs in the dough also act like leavening agents and help with rising.
- Salt: Add a pinch of salt to balance the sweetness.
- Sugar: We need granulated sugar to add sweetness to the dough and activate the yeast.
- Vegetable oil: For frying donuts.
- Biscoff cookie butter: A smooth layer of melted cookie butter covers the donuts. Here we’ve rounded up some great Speculoos cookie butter recipe ideas for you to try out.
- White chocolate: Drizzle donuts with melted white chocolate.
- Milk: Milk gives the dough a rich and soft texture.

- Warm water: For proofing the yeast.
- Biscoff cookies: Dip donuts in the melted Biscoff cookie butter and top with some crushed biscuits.
Step-By-Step Instructions
- Proof the yeast: To proof the yeast place warm water in a small bowl. Whisk together warm water, yeast, and 1 teaspoon of sugar and let it rest for a few minutes. After 10 to 15 minutes, the yeast should bubble and foam up.
- Making the dough: In a large bowl(or in a bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the dough hook) add flour, milk, sugar, salt, eggs, vanilla extract, and proofed yeast mixture. Just mix them for about 4-5 minutes until the dough comes together. You can also make the dough by hand, but it will take a little more work and effort. Cover the dough with a clean kitchen towel or oiled plastic wrap and let it rest for 15-20 minutes at room temperature. Knead the dough with your hand for 2-3 minutes. Then add room temperature butter and knead for another 10-12 minutes.
- Let the dough rise: Cover the dough with plastic wrap and let it rise in a warm place until doubled in size.
- Cut the dough into doughnuts: Place the dough on a floured surface and roll the dough out to 1/2 inch thickness. Cut into donuts with a donut cutter and then transfer to a parchment-lined baking sheet. Cover with a clean kitchen towel and let it rest for 30 minutes at room temperature.
- Fry the doughnuts: Heat a few inches of oil to 365F. Carefully add a few doughnuts and doughnut holes to the hot oil and fry until golden brown. Use a slotted spoon to remove the donuts from the frying oil. Put them on a wire rack to cool.
How to Make Biscoff Glaze?
In a microwave-safe bowl, melt cookie butter for 30 seconds. Dip doughnuts in the melted Biscoff cookie butter and top with some crushed biscuits or Drizzle with melted white chocolate.
How to Make Biscoff Doughnuts Like a Pro?
- Before starting, gather the ingredients and place them on the countertop. Measure the required ingredients accurately.
- The proofing time is a must for donuts. Do not skip it at all.
- Avoid adding too many donuts at once to the hot oil because this will lower the oil’s temperature.
- If the oil is not hot enough doughnuts will absorb too much oil. If the oil is too hot the outside of the donut will be overcooked and burnt.
