Oven Baking:

- When the batter is well mixed, transfer the mixture to a large piping bag or a resealable bag. Pipe the mixture into the donut pans.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 15 to 18 minutes until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Allow the donuts to cool in the pan for 5 minutes, then flip the pan over onto a wire cooling rack and allow the donuts to cool completely.
Electric Mini Doughnut Maker:
- Preheat the donut machine as directed by the manufacturer.

- Bake in the donut machine for 7-8 minutes until the middle of the donut is cooked.
- Remove them to a wire rack to cool.
Store Bought Frosting:
- When the donuts are cool, remove the lid from the frosting and heat for 30 seconds to 1 minute in the microwave, until the frosting is slightly runny.
- Drizzle the melted frosting over the top of each donut, then decorate with sprinkles, chocolate chips, or whatever you like.
Simple Vanilla Glaze:
- Combine the powdered sugar and milk in a bowl. Stir until all the lumps are gone. Add extra milk if necessary to get it to a runny consistency.
