Ingredients
Scale
2 cups powdered sugar
1/4 cup milk
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions
In a medium bowl, whisk together the powdered sugar, milk, and vanilla extract until smooth and lump-free.
If the glaze is too thick, add a teaspoon of milk at a time until you reach your desired consistency.
If the glaze is too thin, add powdered sugar, a tablespoon at a time, until thickened.
Dip your donuts into the glaze, allowing excess to drip off.
Place glazed donuts on a wire rack to set.
Notes
For a thinner glaze, add more milk. For a thicker glaze, add more powdered sugar.
Add sprinkles or other toppings immediately after dipping your donuts before the glaze sets.
Try adding a pinch of salt to enhance the flavor.
For a chocolate glaze, substitute 2 tablespoons of cocoa powder for 2 tablespoons of powdered sugar and add 1-2 tablespoons of milk as needed.
For a lemon glaze, substitute lemon juice for milk and add lemon zest.
