Kitchen Kids ~ Tips for Doughnut Frosting and Recipe for Icing, Frosted Donuts and How to Make Maple Glaze

You don't need an expensive icing tube or even a fancy bag; here's an easy tip for doughnut frosting and easy recipes for icing frosted donuts and a maple glaze recipe.







Plastic Icing Bags with clothespins to keep the icing in place (works for tooth paste too).



You can purchase plastic cone/tube bags to use with recipes for icing or you can use plastic Ziploc baggies and cut a tiny hole (about 1'4") on one bottom corner then, roll it up as shown above. With this technique, you can use the tubes as a pen and write names with frosting. Use a larger opening to make and pipe ribbons and roses.





Make maple glaze recipe.
















For the glaze:  1 C. Confectioner's Sugar, 2 Tbs. Hot Water, 1/4 C. Maple Syrup




How to make donut glaze: Blend confectioner's sugar, hot water, and maple syrup in a small bowl, drizzle over donuts.




For the frosting:  2 C. confectioners sugar sifted, 1/2 C. unsalted butter, 1/2 tsp. vanilla extract, 2 tbs. milk, food coloring (if desired).




How to make frosting:  In a bowl with a hand mixer (electric mixer on low), beat the butter until well blended and smooth. Beat in the vanilla extract. With the mixer on low speed, gradually beat in the sugar. Add  milk and beat together. On high speed, beat frosting until fluffy (about 5 minutes). Now is the time to add a few drops of food coloring if desired. Keep in airtight container so confectioner's frosting doesn't dry out.
