Chef's tip

For an ultra-shiny glaze ✨, add a few drops of lemon juice to the powdered sugar before adding the milk! It will make your donuts even prettier and tastier 😍🍩

Freezing : Can you freeze this recipe?

Yes

Raw dough: up to 1 month as a ball in a zip-top bag. Baked unglazed donuts: up to 2 months. Thaw slowly, then reheat.

Storage : How long does it keep?

Freshness is essential for texture and glaze. Keeps 1 day at room temperature in a non-airtight container (to avoid condensation).

Making ahead : Can you make it the day before?

Yes

Donut dough: let it rise overnight in the fridge. Bake and glaze the same day.

Reheating : How do you reheat it?

Reheating not recommended. Soft texture, melted glaze. Eat at room temperature.

Variations

Dip them in melted chocolate and add sprinkles or sugar pearls.
Fry them instead of baking.
Tint the glaze orange and purple.

Mistakes to avoid

Cutting the rise short: let the dough rest for 1 hour in a warm place, until it doubles in size.
Glazing warm donuts: let them cool on a rack before glazing.
Rolling the dough too thin: aim for about 1 cm thick.
