Combine the wet ingredients in a measuring cup.

Equipment you will use

Measuring Cup

Pour the wet into the dry and mix well.

Transfer the batter to a pastry bag (or ziplock storage bag) and cut off the tip (or corner). Carefully pipe the batter into each donut mold until it’s no more than 2/3 full. (Err on the side of less rather than more, or your donuts will come out shaped funny and lacking a hole on one side!)

Equipment you will use

Pastry Bag

Bake for 8-12 minutes, until tops are done.

Equipment you will use

Oven

Remove from oven and allow to cool on a wire rack for a few minutes before attempting to remove the donuts from the pan. If necessary, carefully run a toothpick around the edges and centers of the molds to unstick the donuts. Wash the pan and repeat with the remaining batter. Once the donuts are cool, prepare the glaze by mixing the confectioner’s sugar well with hot water and adding a drop or two of food coloring if desired. (If the glaze seems too thin, add more sugar; if too thick, add more water.) Dip or drizzle the top side of the donut with the glaze. (The bottoms are very spongy and shouldn’t be dipped.) Be careful to dip the donut very briefly or it will absorb too much of the glaze. Allow to dry before serving.
