Notes

Use 2 pans. Most donut pans will make 6 donuts. This recipe makes 12, so you can make them in batches or grab two pans. These pans are so easy to use and make perfect-looking donuts every time. I've had this set of 2 for a few years and love them.
Donuts can be dipped warm or cooled, depending on what you are dipping them in. If rolling in cinnamon and sugar, do that while they are warm. If dipping in glaze, allow the donuts to cool.
If you notice the glaze thickening while dipping, you can add a splash of milk, whisk, and keep dipping.
