How to make Glazed Donuts
Prepare the dough
- Step 1
In a bowl, beat the butter at room temperature together with the sugar until you achieve a smooth cream.
- Step 2
Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition to incorporate the ingredients. Add the vanilla essence for flavor.
- Step 3
Sift the cornstarch together with the self-rising flour and add it to the previous mixture. Mix until you achieve a homogeneous dough that doesn’t stick to your hands. Let the dough rest in the refrigerator for one hour.
Shape and bake the donuts
- Step 1
Roll out the dough with a rolling pin until it’s about one centimeter thick.
- Step 2
Cut out circles using a round cookie cutter, and use a smaller cutter to remove the center, forming the donut shape.
- Step 3
Place the donuts on a greased and floured baking sheet, leaving a few centimeters of space between them to allow for expansion during baking.
- Step 4
Bake the donuts in a preheated oven at 180°C (350°F) for about 10 minutes or until they are lightly golden and have risen.
Prepare the glaze
- Step 1
Mix powdered sugar with lemon juice until it reaches a light texture.
- Step 2
Remove the donuts from the oven and coat them with the glaze.
- Step 3
Once cooled, remove the donuts from the baking sheet.

Tips & Tricks
Ensure the butter is at room temperature for easier mixing.

Adjust the amount of lemon juice in the glaze to achieve your desired consistency.
FAQS
Can I use regular flour instead of self-rising flour?
Yes, you can use regular flour, but you will need to add baking powder to achieve the same effect as self-rising flour.
Can I substitute the butter with margarine?
Yes, margarine can be used as a substitute for butter, but it may slightly alter the flavor.
How do I know when the donuts are done baking?
The donuts are done when they are lightly golden and have risen. Avoid overbaking to keep them soft.
Can I store the donuts for later?
Yes, you can store the donuts in an airtight container for up to 2 days. For longer storage, freeze them without the glaze.
Can I use a different flavor for the glaze?
Absolutely! You can substitute lemon juice with milk, orange juice, or even a flavored extract for a different taste.
