Step 1
Preheat oven to 350°F. Grease a standard 12-cavity donut pan.
Step 2
Whisk together flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt in a bowl.
Step 3
Add egg and milk to flour mixture. Stir just until combined; batter should be thick.
Step 4
Transfer batter to a piping bag. Pipe into donut cavities, filling each about two-thirds full.
Step 5
Bake 10–12 minutes until a toothpick inserted comes out clean and donuts are golden.
Step 6
Cool in pan 5 minutes, then turn out onto a wire rack.
Step 7
Whisk powdered sugar and milk until smooth and pourable. Dip warm donuts.
Step 8
Return to rack, glaze-side up. Let set 10 minutes before serving.
