Galaxy Doughnuts

• 1 3/4 cups flour
• 1 cup sugar
• 1 teaspoon baking powder
• 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1/2 cup milk
• 1/4 cup vegetable oil
• 1/4 cup water
• 1 large egg
• 1/2 teaspoon vanilla
• 2 cups icing sugar
• 1/4 cup icing sugar
• gel food coloring
• edible glitter if desired

1. Preheat the oven to 357u0b0 F. Lightly grease the molds of your doughnut pan.
2. Use your KitchenAid(R) Artisan(R) Mini Stand Mixer fitted with the flat beater to mix the flour, sugar, baking power, baking soda, and salt until combined.
3. Add the milk, vegetable oil, water, egg, and vanilla to the dry ingredients above and mix until just combined, scraping down the sides of the bowl, if needed.
4. Spoon, or use a piping bag to pipe the batter into the mini doughnut molds. Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges start to turn golden.
5. Remove from the oven and let cool before removing from the pan. Let the doughnuts cool completely before glazing.

7. Add the icing sugar to the bowl of your Mini Stand Mixer. With the flat beater, mix in the milk until smooth. Spoon a quarter cup of icing out into a separate bowl and keep it white. Tint the base with just a drop of food coloring - you want it to be very pale. Mix well.
8. Drop 2 drops of blue and 1 drop of red into the mix. Use a chopstick or skewer to drag the color back and forth in one direction, not quite mixing it together, but creating streaks of color.
9. Dribble some of the white icing back on top. With a smooth swooshing motion, dip a doughnut into the surface of the glaze, pulling it along the surface to achieve streaks.
10. Let the excess drip off and place on a plate to let dry. Dust with glitter, if desired. From time to time, add more white icing to the bowl to ensure the galaxy effect.
