Instructions

- Remove from the heat and whisk in the confectioners' sugar, vanilla, and salt until smooth.
- Cool for 5 minutes and drizzle over doughnuts; it sets to a soft, tacky glaze.

- Best vanilla for this: Madagascar (rich, creamy, classic), or Mexican (spiced, warm, woodsy). Any pure vanilla works.
- Storage: Refrigerate for up to 1 week; rewarm gently until pourable.
