Ingredients
Glaze Ingredients
- 1 cup (120g) powdered sugar
- 2 tablespoons pure maple syrup
- 1–2 tablespoons milk
- ½ teaspoon vanilla extract
- Pinch of salt
Instructions
- Combine Dry and Wet Ingredients: In a medium bowl, whisk together the powdered sugar, pure maple syrup, vanilla extract, and a pinch of salt until well blended.
- Add Milk to Adjust Consistency: Pour in 1 tablespoon of milk and whisk thoroughly until the glaze is smooth. Gradually add the remaining milk, a little at a time, until the desired glaze consistency is achieved.
- Apply the Glaze: Dip cooled donuts directly into the glaze or drizzle it over the tops using a spoon or spatula for an even coating.
- Set the Glaze: Allow the glazed donuts to rest at room temperature for 10–15 minutes so the glaze can firm up and set before serving.
Notes
- Use pure maple syrup to maximize the rich maple flavor.
- For a thicker glaze, reduce the amount of milk used.
- This glaze is versatile and also delicious on muffins, scones, cinnamon rolls, and coffee cakes.
