A sour cream doughnut is a type of doughnut that incorporates sour cream into its batter. This type of doughnut is often dipped in a vanilla flavored glaze after frying and usually has no filling.

What makes a Sour Cream Doughnut Different? Classic Sour Cream Doughnuts are in a class all their own. The sour cream in the dough makes the crumb super tender and moist. And the baking powder and egg make the dough crack and crinkle which creates the perfect crunchy crevices for the vanilla glaze to pool in.

Like most doughnuts, Krispy Kremes are fried (cooked in oil). Frying cooks the dough rapidly from the outside in to give the doughnuts their distinctive crispy texture. The conveyer belt carries the doughnuts through a vegetable oil bath heated to between 355 and 360 degrees Fahrenheit (about 180 C).
