How to Make Doughnut Glaze

  1. Sprinkle 1 packet (1/4 ounce) of unflavored gelatin over 2 tablespoons of cold water in a medium bowl. Let it bloom for 5 minutes.
  2. Heat 1/2 cup of boiling water in a separate saucepan. Gently pour the boiling water into the gelatin mixture, stirring constantly until the gelatin is completely dissolved.
  3. Gradually whisk in 2 cups of powdered sugar, stirring until smooth and glossy. If needed, add more powdered sugar, 1 tablespoon at a time, to reach your desired consistency.
  4. Pour the glaze over your freshly baked doughnuts. Let the glaze set for a few minutes before serving and enjoying!
