Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 240 grams Powdered sugar (confectioners' sugar)
- 3 tablespoons 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 milk to the powdered sugar, one tablespoon at a time. Stir the mixture with a whisk or a fork until smooth.
Stir in the vanilla extract and mix well to combine all the ingredients evenly.
If the glaze is too thick for your taste, add a few extra drops of milk. Conversely, if the glaze is too runny, add a small amount of powdered sugar until the desired consistency is reached.
Dip cooled doughnuts top-side down into the glaze, allowing any excess to drip back into the bowl. Place glazed doughnuts on a wire rack to set for about 5–10 minutes.
Serve and enjoy your perfectly glazed doughnuts!
