Doughnuts!

The title says it all. I love doughnuts, so does my mom, brother, and dad. We have favorite places to go to get doughnuts ( The Original Bakery and Top Pot, though Dad also likes Mighty-O), and a few favorite recipes. However, Mom doesn't like to fry doughnuts, so we went looking for a baked doughnut recipe. We found this one: :) They're super good. I made a simple chocolate glaze, a maple glaze, and some cinnamon sugar. Just a warning, making glazes is messing! The powdered sugar gets everywhere, and if anything drips, you'll have to scrub really hard to get it off. I think it's worth it, though. I got the glaze recipe from Doughnuts, Simple and Delicious Recipes to Make at Home, by Lara Ferroni.

 Here's a picture from the side.

Going counterclockwise starting at the bottom, it's chocolate, then maple, then cinnamon sugar.

Chocolate Glaze

1 1/2 cups confectioners' (powdered) sugar

4 tablespoons cocoa powder

2 tablespoons milk

2 tablespoons vanilla

1. Sift together the sugar and cocoa powder in a medium bowl. Slowly stir in the milk and vanilla, a little at a time, to make a smooth, pourable glaze.

2. Dip the doughnuts in and enjoy! <3

Maple Glaze

1 1/2 cups confectioners' (powdered) sugar

2 tablespoons maple syrup

2 tablespoons milk

 1. Place the sugar in a medium bowl and slowly stir in the maple syrup and milk, a little at a time, to make a smooth, pourable glaze.
