Homemade Glazed Donut Recipe

What about getting that signature donut shape? What's the trick? There's honestly not one. You can make donut holes, even if you don't have a donut pan. You can use a cupcake tin. Anything will do.

But if you're set on making donuts, you'll want a nice donut pan like this one. 

Nothing fancy, but it will make that signature donut shape you're looking for.

What You Need to Make Homemade Glazed Donuts

• 2 cups all purpose flour

• ¾ cup granulated sugar

• ¼ cup brown sugar

• 2 teaspoon baking powder

• 1 cup whole milk

• 1 large egg

• 2 tablespoon butter, melted

• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

• 1 cup powdered sugar

• 1 teaspoon vanilla

• If glaze is too thick, add a splash of milk

How to Make Homemade Glazed Donuts

1. Preheat oven to 400 degrees F.

2. Spray donut pan with non stick spray.

3. In a large bowl, whisk together dry ingredients (flour, sugars and spices).

4. In another bowl melt unsalted butter.

5. Add milk, egg and vanilla to melted butter and mix.

6. Pour wet ingredients into the large bowl with dry ingredients.

7. Mix until just combined, (no traces of flour should be shown).

8. Fill in prepared donut pan with a spoon or piping bag

9. Bake for 10-12 mins or until a tooth pick comes out clean

10. Allow to sit for 2-3 mins.

11. Transfer the donuts to a cooling rack.

12. Allow to sit another 5-10 mins and prepare the glaze.

13. In a small bowl mix together powdered sugar and a splash of milk (or heavy cream). 

14. Before glazing donuts, place parchment paper under the cooling rack.

15. Dip one side of the donuts into the glaze and allow to set on cooling rack.  If your donuts are too warm the glaze will become translucent.  (Dip the donuts again once they cool if you want to see the glaze). 

16. Once the glaze hardens (about 10 mins), using a spoon, go back and forth with a steady drizzle across each donut and allow to set.

And then it's just time to enjoy. Just make sure you grab one before the kids start in, because if you're not careful, there won't be any left for you!
