Pan-Fried Glazed Doughnut
The 10-minute viral hack that turns a store-bought glazed doughnut into a creme-brulee-style treat by caramelizing the glaze in a dry skillet, served warm with a scoop of ice cream.
Ingredients
- 2 glazed doughnut (store-bought)
- 1 cup vanilla ice cream
- pinch flaky sea salt
Instructions
-
1
Set a nonstick skillet over medium-low heat with no oil or butter, it should be completely dry.
-
2
Place the 2 glazed doughnut (store-bought) glazed side down in the dry skillet and press gently with a spatula so the glaze makes full contact with the pan.
-
3
Cook undisturbed for 3 to 4 minutes, watching closely, until the glaze bubbles, deepens to amber, and hardens into a thin, crackly shell.
-
4
Flip the doughnut and cook the plain side for 1 to 2 minutes just to warm it through.
-
5
Transfer to a plate, caramelized side up, and let it rest for 1 minute so the shell fully sets and turns crisp.

Top with 1 cup vanilla ice cream and a pinch of flaky sea salt, then serve immediately while the shell is still crackly.
