Notes

  • Fill the donut pan using a piping bag or plastic bag. Cut off the bottom inch of a piping bag and fill it with your donut batter. A gallon ziploc bag can work as well. Pipe the batter into each donut pan cavity for clean and easy filling.
  • Sprinkle immediately after glazing. Make sure to add sprinkles immediately after glazing your donuts to ensure that they stick to the glaze.
  • For a clean, drip-free glaze: Rather than drizzling the icing on top of your donuts, dunk the top half of each donut into the glaze.
  • For a cinnamon sugar finish: If you'd prefer to skip glazing your donuts, a cinnamon sugar coating is a delicious option. Simply dip each baked donut in melted butter and roll them in a cinnamon sugar mixture.
  • For a powdered sugar finish: Put 2/3 cup of powdered sugar in a resealable gallon plastic bag. Put one unglazed donut into the bag at a time, seal the bag, then shake to coat.
