Instructions

  1. Step 1

  2. Step 2

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

    Cool in pan 5 minutes, then turn out onto a wire rack.

  7. Step 7

    Whisk powdered sugar and milk until smooth and pourable. Dip warm donuts.

  8. Step 8

    Return to rack, glaze-side up. Let set 10 minutes before serving.
