Make our Basic Yeast Donuts, then dip them in this simple vanilla-flavored glaze, made with powdered sugar, light corn syrup, hot water, and a pinch of salt.
Game plan: Plan to finish the donuts within 1 hour of making the glaze—otherwise it can easily become too stiff to coat.

Fry the donuts and donut holes and set aside to cool. - 2Place the powdered sugar, hot water, corn syrup, vanilla, and salt in a shallow bowl and whisk to form a very smooth glaze. Cover with plastic wrap until ready to use (and use within 1 hour).
-
3When the donuts are just cool enough to handle, dip them top-side down into the glaze. Let the excess glaze drip off, and let the donuts dry on a wire rack set over a baking sheet. Do the same with the donut holes. Decorate with sprinkles, coarse sugar, chopped toasted nuts, dried coconut flakes, or whatever you fancy before the glaze sets.
