Equipment

  • medium bowl
  • Whisk

Ingredients
  

  • 2 cups confectioners' sugar For sweetness and texture
  • 1/4 cup milk Adjust for consistency
  • 2 tablespoons unsalted butter Melted
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract For flavor

Instructions
 

  • In a medium bowl, whisk together the confectioners' sugar, milk, melted butter, and vanilla extract until the mixture is smooth and free of lumps. The consistency should be thick but pourable.
  • If the glaze is too thick, add a teaspoon of milk at a time until you reach the desired consistency. Dip the tops of the donuts into the glaze, allowing the excess to drip off. Place the glazed donuts on a wire rack or parchment paper to set.
  • For best results, allow the glaze to fully set before serving. Be mindful of the temperature and humidity, as they can affect the consistency. If the glaze becomes too thick, you can thin it out with a small amount of milk. Conversely, if it's too thin, add more confectioners' sugar.
