Donut sugar glaze is a simple icing made primarily from powdered sugar, milk, and vanilla extract, though some variations may include butter or corn syrup for texture. This sweet coating originated in American baking and has become a staple topping for classic donuts, adding a shiny finish and extra sweetness. While delicious, the glaze is high in refined sugar and contains minimal nutritional benefits, contributing to increased calorie intake with little fiber or protein. Traditionally, it is used sparingly to enhance flavor and appearance rather than as a substantial source of nutrients. Some consider it a nostalgic indulgence suited for occasional treats. For health-conscious alternatives, recipes may incorporate natural sweeteners or reduced sugar content, but the traditional glaze remains synonymous with indulgent comfort in popular pastry culture.
