Galaxy Donut with Galaxy-Themed Icing
Created by: Howcan Team
Ingredients
- 2 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 2 1/4 teaspoons instant yeast
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 cup milk
- 1/4 cup unsalted butter, melted
- 2 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 3 cups powdered sugar
- 1/4 cup milk
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- Black, purple, blue, and pink food coloring gel
Instructions
- In a large mixing bowl, combine 2 1/4 cups of flour, 1/2 cup of sugar, instant yeast, and salt.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together 1/2 cup of milk, melted butter, eggs, and 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract.
- Add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients and mix until a dough forms.
- Turn the dough out onto a floured surface and knead for 5-7 minutes, or until the dough is smooth and elastic.
- Place the dough in a greased bowl, cover with a clean kitchen towel, and let it rise in a warm place for 1 hour, or until doubled in size.
- Punch down the dough and roll it out to 1/2 inch thickness. Use a donut cutter to cut out donut shapes. Place the donuts on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper, cover with a kitchen towel, and let them rise for another 30 minutes.
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C).
- Bake the donuts for 10-12 minutes, or until they are lightly golden. Allow them to cool completely on a wire rack.
- In a medium bowl, whisk together 3 cups of powdered sugar, 1/4 cup of milk, and 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract to make the icing.
- Divide the icing into separate bowls and tint each bowl with black, purple, blue, and pink food coloring gel to create a galaxy effect.
- Dip the tops of the cooled donuts into the galaxy-themed icing and allow the excess to drip off. Place the donuts back on the wire rack to set the icing.
- Enjoy your stunning galaxy donuts!
