Instructions
 

DONUTS:

  • Preheat oven to 425 degrees.

  • Pour the butter mixture into the flour mixture and stir just until combined.
  • Do not overmix.

  • Trim a corner off the bottom of the bag and pipe batter into each donut cavity.
  • Fill each cup 3∕4 full.

  • Remove from oven and cool approximately 2 minutes on a cooling rack.
  • Remove donuts from the pan and dip in vanilla glaze.
  • Place donuts on rack for about 2 minutes before dipping in glaze again.
  • Finally, dip donuts in glaze a third time.
