3 EASY WAYS TO MAKE DELICIOUS, SWEET DONUT GLAZE

Steps:

• Measure out 2 cups (240 g) of powdered sugar into a mixing bowl. Use a dry measuring cup to measure out 2 cups (240 g) of powdered sugar. Pour them into a large mixing bowl. Powdered sugar is also known as confectioner's sugar or icing sugar. This recipe will make a delicious classic, vanilla-flavored donut glaze.
• Stir 1⁄4 c (59 mL) of milk into the powdered sugar using a whisk. Use a liquid measuring cup to measure out 1⁄4 c (59 mL) of milk. Pour it slowly into the bowl of powdered sugar while simultaneously stirring it in. Keep stirring until the mixture becomes uniformly smooth. If the glaze is not smooth and creamy yet, try adding more milk 1⁄4 US tbsp (3.7 mL) at a time.
• Mix in 1⁄4 tsp (1.2 mL) of vanilla extract and a pinch of salt. Use a measuring spoon to measure out 1⁄4 tsp (1.2 mL) of vanilla extract and pour it into the glaze mixture. Grab a pinch of salt, which is about 1/8 tsp (0.75 g) of salt, and dump it into the bowl as well. Stir the vanilla and salt in thoroughly. If you want a stronger vanilla flavor, you can use up to 1⁄2-1 tsp (2.5-4.9 mL) of extract. You could also add other flavoring ingredients at this point if you want. For example, try adding the zest from 1/4 of a lemon for a lemony glaze. You can also try adding a dry spice like cinnamon to your glaze for a different flavor. Try mixing in about 1⁄2 tsp (2.5 mL) of ground cinnamon and see how it tastes, then add more if you want a stronger flavor.
• Dip your donuts into the glaze and put them on a rack until the glaze hardens. Grab a homemade or store-bought unglazed donut and dip the top half into the glaze until the donut is half submerged. Place the donut unglazed-side-down on a metal rack and let it sit until the glaze hardens. Repeat this for each donut you want to glaze. You don't have to stop at glazing just half the donut! Feel free to cover the whole thing in glaze if you want to. You can also dip the donuts into other toppings, such as rainbow sprinkles, while the glaze is still liquid.

DOUGHNUT GLAZE

Steps:

• Combine milk and vanilla in a medium saucepan and heat over low heat until warm. Sift confectioners' sugar into milk mixture. Whisk slowly, until well combined. Remove the glaze from the heat and set over a bowl of warm water. Dip doughnuts into the glaze, 1 at a time, and set on a draining rack placed in a half sheet pan for 5 minutes before serving.

STRAWBERRY GLAZE FOR DOUGHNUTS

Steps:

• Whisk together the confectioners' sugar, jam, lemon juice and 2 tablespoons water in a medium bowl until well combined and smooth.

CLASSIC GLAZED DOUGHNUTS

Steps:

• Heat the milk until it is warm but not hot, about 90 degrees. In a large bowl, combine it with the yeast. Stir lightly, and let sit until the mixture is foamy, about 5 minutes.
• Using an electric mixer or a stand mixer fitted with a dough hook, beat the eggs, butter, sugar and salt into the yeast mixture. Add half of the flour (2 cups plus 2 tablespoons), and mix until combined, then mix in the rest of the flour until the dough pulls away from the sides of the bowl. Add more flour, about 2 tablespoons at a time, if the dough is too wet. If you're using an electric mixer, the dough will probably become too thick to beat; when it does, transfer it to a floured surface, and gently knead it until smooth. Grease a large bowl with a little oil. Transfer the dough to the bowl, and cover. Let rise at room temperature until it doubles in size, about 1 hour.
• Turn the dough out onto a well-floured surface, and roll it to 1/2-inch thickness. Cut out the doughnuts with a doughnut cutter, concentric cookie cutters or a drinking glass and a shot glass (the larger one should be about 3 inches in diameter), flouring the cutters as you go. Reserve the doughnut holes. If you're making filled doughnuts, don't cut out the middle. Knead any scraps together, being careful not to overwork, and let rest for a few minutes before repeating the process.
• Put the doughnuts on two floured baking sheets so that there is plenty of room between each one. Cover with a kitchen towel, and let rise in a warm place until they are slightly puffed up and delicate, about 45 minutes. If your kitchen isn't warm, heat the oven to 200 at the beginning of this step, then turn off the heat, put the baking sheets in the oven and leave the door ajar.
• About 15 minutes before the doughnuts are done rising, put the oil in a heavy-bottomed pot or Dutch oven over medium heat, and heat it to 375. Meanwhile, line cooling racks, baking sheets or plates with paper towels.
• Carefully add the doughnuts to the oil, a few at a time. If they're too delicate to pick up with your fingers (they may be this way only if you rose them in the oven), use a metal spatula to pick them up and slide them into the oil. It's O.K. if they deflate a bit; they'll puff back up as they fry. When the bottoms are deep golden, after 45 seconds to a minute, use a slotted spoon to flip; cook until they're deep golden all over. Doughnut holes cook faster. Transfer the doughnuts to the prepared plates or racks, and repeat with the rest of the dough, adjusting the heat as needed to keep the oil at 375. Glaze or fill as follows, and serve as soon as possible.
• Whisk together 2 cups powdered sugar, 1/4 cup milk and 1 teaspoon vanilla until smooth. When the doughnuts are cool enough to handle, dip into the glaze; if you like, flip them so the tops they're completely covered. Put on racks to let the glaze harden.
