Ingredients

  • 240 grams Powdered sugar
  • 60 milliliters Whole milk
  • 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract

Directions

Step 1

In a medium-sized mixing bowl, sift the powdered sugar to remove any lumps and ensure a smooth glaze.

Step 2

Add the whole milk to the powdered sugar, one tablespoon at a time, whisking continuously until fully incorporated.

Step 3

Stir in the vanilla extract to enhance the flavor of the glaze.

Step 4

Whisk the mixture vigorously until it is smooth and slightly thick, with a consistency suitable for dipping or spreading.

Step 5

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.

Step 6

For a thicker glaze, dip the donuts a second time after the first layer has set.
