Icing Glaze
  1. in a small bowl whisk together powdered sugar, butter, vanilla and water. Stir to combine. Add additional water until you reach the desired consistancy.
  2. dunk each donut into the icing glaze and return to cooling rack. Add SPRINKLES! Allow the glaze to harden before serving!
BAKING TIP for DONUT POLE
  1. Use small donut ~ pans and bake approximately 9 minutes. Less time for smaller donuts.
    for every donut pan purchased, purchase two. Then while baking add one donut pan as a lid to the other....the donuts will rise perfectly! (see images)
