Let's Cook
-
Step 1.
In a medium bowl, combine 1½ cups (180 grams) sifted confectioners' sugar and a pinch of kosher salt. Slowly stir in 2 teaspoons vanilla extract (if using) and 3 to 4 tablespoons milk or water, adding a little at a time, until you have a smooth, pourable glaze. You may not need all the liquid.
-
Step 2.
Dip the top of each doughnut into the glaze, gently shaking to remove any excess. For an allover glaze, flip and dip the other side as well.
-
Step 3.
Allow the glaze to set on the doughnuts for 5 to 10 minutes before serving.
