Method

TO MAKE THE DONUTS

STEP 1

Preheat the oven to 180 C. Using non-stick cooking spray, spray the donut pan and set aside.

STEP 2

Whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder and salt in a large mixing bowl.

In a separate small bowl, whisk together the egg, milk, butter, and vanilla extract.

STEP 3

Add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients and stir together until well combined. Try not to overmix the batter.

Either spoon the batter into the donut pan or place the batter in a pipping bag. Pipe the batter into the wells of the pan filling 3/4 of the way full.

STEP 4

Bake for eight to ten minutes. Remove from the oven and allow the donuts rest for three minutes, then remove them from the pan and place them on a cooling rack.

TO MAKE THE GLAZE

STEP 1

In a medium bowl, whisk together the powdered sugar, milk and vanilla extract. If the glaze is too thick, add additional milk half-a-teaspoon at a time until the desired consistency is reached.

STEP 2

Add the orange food colouring and mix until the colour is blended well.
