Step 1
Preheat oven to 350°F. Grease two 6-cavity donut pans with nonstick spray.
Step 2
Whisk together flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt in a medium bowl.
Step 3
In another bowl, whisk eggs, milk, vanilla, and melted butter until smooth.
Step 4
Pour wet ingredients into dry. Stir until just combined—don't overmix.
Step 5
Transfer batter to a piping bag or large zip-top bag with corner cut off.
Step 6
Pipe batter into prepared pans, filling each cavity three-quarters full.
Step 7
Bake until a toothpick inserted into a donut comes out clean, 10-12 minutes.
Step 8
Cool donuts in pans for 5 minutes, then turn out onto a wire rack.
Step 9
Whisk powdered sugar with 2-3 tbsp milk until smooth and pourable.
Step 10
Dip warm donuts into glaze, letting excess drip off. Set on parchment to set.
