Glazed Donuts Recipe

• 1 recipe Basic Yeast Donuts
• 3 cups powdered sugar, also known as confectioners sugar, sifted
• 1/3 cup hot water
• 1 teaspoon light corn syrup
• 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
• Pinch of fine sea salt

1. Mix the dough, let it rise, roll it out, and cut it into donuts .
2. Fry the donuts and donut holes and set aside to cool.
3. Place the powdered sugar, hot water, corn syrup, vanilla, and salt in a shallow bowl and whisk to form a very smooth glaze.
4. Cover with plastic wrap until ready to use (and use within 1 hour).
5. When the donuts are just cool enough to handle, dip them top-side down into the glaze.
6. Let the excess glaze drip off, and let the donuts dry on a wire rack set over a baking sheet.
7. Do the same with the donut holes.
8. Decorate with sprinkles, coarse sugar, chopped toasted nuts, dried coconut flakes, or whatever you fancy before the glaze sets.
