Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 240 grams Powdered sugar
- 60 milliliters Whole milk
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
Instructions
In a medium-sized mixing bowl, sift the powdered sugar to remove any lumps and ensure a smooth glaze.
Add the whole milk to the powdered sugar, one tablespoon at a time, whisking continuously until fully incorporated.
Stir in the vanilla extract to enhance the flavor of the glaze.
Whisk the mixture vigorously until it is smooth and slightly thick, with a consistency suitable for dipping or spreading.
Once the donuts are cool, dip them into the glaze, allowing the excess to drip off. Flip them over and place them on a wire rack to set for about 10-15 minutes.
For a thicker glaze, dip the donuts a second time after the first layer has set.
