These old-fashioned doughnuts are perfect for dipping into your favorite hot beverage. If you’d like to make buttermilk doughnuts, you can substitute buttermilk for the milk, decrease the baking powder to 2 teaspoons and add 1 teaspoon baking soda.
The doughnuts are also great plain or just sprinkled with granulated or powdered sugar instead of the icing.

2½ cups icing (for 12 doughnuts)
- 4½
cups powdered sugar - 6
tablespoons milk - 4
tablespoons light corn syrup - Red, orange, yellow, green, blue and purple gel icing color (not liquid food color)
- 12
Cake Doughnuts
or purchased plain cake doughnuts
1
In large bowl, mix powdered sugar, milk and corn syrup until smooth. Divide icing evenly among 6 small bowls. Add a different color gel to each bowl; stir to blend. Place each color icing in small resealable food-storage plastic bag. Cut off tiny corner of each bag.
2
Place cooling rack on large cookie sheet; place doughnuts on rack. To make a rainbow on each doughnut, pipe one stripe of red, orange, yellow, green, blue and purple icing over top and slightly over edge of doughnut so that colors just touch. Pipe 1 or 2 doughnuts at a time so icing can blend together slightly before setting. Icing will spread slightly and drip down side. Let stand at least 30 minutes or until icing is set. Store in tightly covered container.

The icing may seem thick at first, but don’t be tempted to thin it. It will flow just enough to drip slightly down the side of each doughnut. If it’s too thin, it won’t set up and will run off the doughnut.
Try coloring the icing red, white and blue for a patriotic theme or the colors of your favorite sports team. Experiment with different patterns: Spoon one color over the top, then add drops of another color. Watch the pattern it makes as the icing spreads. Kids will love to experiment with this.
Sparkle it up—immediately after icing the doughnuts, sprinkle with colored sugar or edible glitter.

If you don’t have a doughnut cutter, you still can make great doughnuts. Roll the dough out into a rectangle until it is
3
⁄
8
inch thick. Cut the dough into 20 squares. With your fingers, form a hole about an inch wide in the center of each square. The hole will help the doughnut fry evenly, so the center will not be undercooked and doughy. Try covering these square doughnuts with powdered sugar and a touch of cinnamon after they are cooked. Yum!
