Easy Donut Glaze Recipe Recipe For Hand

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.

EASY DONUT GLAZE RECIPE

Steps:

• In a medium bowl, mix together all of the ingredients with an electric mixture, or by hand.
• Continue mixing for about a minute until everything is combined and the mixture is smooth.
• Add more milk or powdered sugar if the glaze is too thick or thin.
• Dip your donuts, one at a time, in the bowl until the donut is half submerged. Transfer to a wire cooling rack.
• Dip each donut one more time to get a nice, thick layer of icing. Let the glaze harden completely before serving.
• Eat and enjoy!

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.

SUPER EASY DOUGHNUTS

Steps:

• Stir the vinegar into the milk, and let stand for a few minutes until thick.
• In a medium bowl, cream together the shortening and sugar until smooth. Beat in the egg and vanilla until well blended. Sift together the flour, baking soda, and salt; stir into the sugar mixture alternating with the vinegar and milk. Roll dough out on a floured surface to 1/3 inch thickness. Cut into doughnuts using a donut cutter. Let stand for about 10 minutes.
• Heat the oil in a large deep skillet to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Fry doughnuts in the hot oil until golden, turning over once. Drain on paper towels. Dust with confectioners' sugar while they are still warm, and serve immediately.

GLAZED YEAST DOUGHNUTS

Steps:

• In a medium bowl, stir together the scalded milk, sugar, and salt. Set aside to cool until tepid. If using nutmeg, stir it into the flour, and add 2 cups of the mixture to the milk, and beat until well blended.
• In a small bowl, dissolve the yeast in warm water. Stir into the milk and flour mixture, then mix in the butter and eggs. Mix in the remaining flour 1/2 cup at a time. When dough is firm enough, turn it out onto a floured surface, and knead for 3 to 4 minutes. Place into an oiled bowl, cover and allow dough to rise until doubled in bulk. This should take 30 to 45 minutes.
• On a lightly floured surface, roll the dough out to 1/2 inch in thickness. Cut into circles using a donut cutter, or round cutter. Set aside to rise for 30 to 40 minutes, or until light.
• Heat one inch of oil in a deep heavy frying pan to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Fry donuts a few at a time. Cook on each side until golden brown, then remove to drain on paper towels. Glaze while warm, or just sprinkle with sugar.
• To make the glaze, stir together the confectioners' sugar and 6 tablespoons milk until smooth. Dip warm donuts into glaze, and set aside to cool.
