How to make donuts?

The donut is a leavened donut, pierced in the center, which is fried to be nicely and evenly browned. Once cooked, it can be decorated with caster sugar, ice or snow before being served. You can also cover it with gourmet icing, colored or not, to finalize the decor, before adding as you like food glitter, colored vermicelli, or rose petals in sugar.

The ideal frosting

To bring the festive touch to your donuts, you don’t hesitate to cover them with a nice colored icing made from icing sugar. Yes, the donut is a sweetness rich in fat and sugar, but also what makes it charming!

On the production side, for 10 donuts, whisk 120g of icing sugar with 2.5 cl of milk and a few drops of lemon juice, until a homogeneous mixture is obtained. You can also add a few drops of dye, and mix vigorously to even out the color. You can also mix the glaze briefly to obtain a marbled glaze. Good to know, if the frosting is too thick, we lengthen with a little milk, and if on the contrary it is too liquid, we tighten the whole by adding sugar. Indeed, the frosting must be thick enough to “hold” on the donut and become opaque.

As soon as the fried donuts are warm, turn them over and dip the top in the frosting. Let the excess glaze run and place it on a grid, turning it over to let the glaze set. You can add toppings but this step is optional. We finally wait until the frosting becomes opaque and no longer sticks to the finger before savoring.
