In a medium-sized mixing bowl, sift the powdered sugar to remove any lumps for a smooth glaze.
Gradually add the milk to the powdered sugar while stirring continuously to achieve a silky texture.
Stir in the vanilla extract and a pinch of salt to enhance the flavor of the glaze.
Ensure the mixture is smooth and well-combined. The consistency should be slightly runny but thick enough to coat the back of a spoon.
If the glaze is too thick, add more milk one teaspoon at a time until the desired texture is achieved. If it’s too thin, add a bit more powdered sugar.
Dip the top of each freshly fried or baked doughnut into the glaze and allow the excess to drip off.
Place the glazed doughnuts on a wire rack to set for about 5-10 minutes before serving or decorating further.
