Baked Lemon-Glazed Donuts

Ingredients:

Donut:

1 Cup White Flour
6 TB White Sugar
1 tsp  Baking Powder
1/2 tsp Lemon Extract
1 Egg
1 TB Melted Margarine or Butter
6 TB Liquid (I used soy milk)

  
Glaze:

1 1/2 Cups Icing Sugar
1/2 tsp Lemon Extract
2 1/2 TB  Warm Water


Directions:

1.  Preheat your oven to 325 degrees and prepare your donut pan by greasing it.

2.  Mix the flour, sugar, and baking powder.  Add the liquid, egg, and melted margarine/butter.

3.  Put batter in a ziploc bag and cut the corner off.  Use this to pipe the batter into the donut pan.

4.  Bake 8 to 11 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean when poked into the donut.

5.  While the donuts are cooling, prepare the glaze.  Combine all ingredients in a bowl.  Once the donuts are cool, apply the glaze using a spoon.  Let one layer of glaze set and then add a second.  This helps you achieve a more opaque glaze.  One trick I use is to ice them on a metal tray, as seen above, over some waxed paper.  This way, none of the glaze is wasted.  Any glaze that dripped off the donuts will land on the waxed paper and can be reapplied.

This is what the donut will look like once both layers of glaze have completely set

 I hope you enjoy!!
