Donut Glaze

Imagine a cupcake without a glorious heap of frosting — it wouldn’t quite be a full treat, right? The same goes for a donut. Especially for those with a sweet tooth, that layer of sugary goodness is what makes a donut so irresistible. And this glaze recipe, although simple, will do just that. It’s a basic vanilla glaze , but consider it a blank canvas to have fun with flavors. Feel free to use any fruit juice in place of the milk or try coconut milk for a vegan variation.

What’s the Difference Between Icing and Glaze?

Both are typically made with powdered sugar and milk, but a glaze has more liquid and is thinner (think: pourable consistency) than icing. Glazes are usually translucent and poured over cakes and pastries, most notably donuts . Icings are usually spread or brushed on cookies.

Why Is My Donut Glaze Runny?

Donut glaze is supposed to be runny and translucent and apply a thin coating to whatever you’re dipping in it. This will contribute to that toothsome crack when you bite into the donut.

How Long Does a Glaze Take to Set?

Donut glaze sets within minutes at room temperature, which is why we suggest keeping the glaze warm while you’re working.

Ingredients

  • 1/2 cup

    milk

  • 1 1/2 teaspoons

    light corn syrup

  • 1 teaspoon

    vanilla extract

  • 1/8 teaspoon

    kosher salt

  • 3 1/2 cups

    powdered sugar

Instructions

  1. Fill a large bowl with hot water and set aside.

  2. Add 1/2 cup milk, 1 1/2 teaspoons light corn syrup, 1 teaspoon vanilla extract, and 1/8 teaspoon kosher salt to a medium saucepan and stir to combine. Heat over low heat until warm, about 4 minutes. Gradually whisk in 3 1/2 cups powdered sugar until well combined.

  3. Transfer the saucepan to the bowl of hot water—either letting it float in the water or sit on top—to keep the glaze warm and runny. Dip donuts, one at a time, into the glaze and let excess drip off. Place glazed donuts on a wire rack. Glaze will start to dry and set after about 5 minutes.

Recipe Notes

Storage: Any leftover glaze can be covered and refrigerated for up to 1 week. Warm it back up before using.
