TIPS ON MAKING THESE LONDON FOG DONUTS

The best part about these donuts is that you can make them in one bowl! They come
together sooo easily and there is hardly any clean up. What could be better than that?!
Below are some of my top tips for making the perfect donuts.

1. You definitely want to make sure that you melt your butter first, and add in the earl grey
tea leaves, so that it can steep. This allows the earl grey flavour to really develop and
provide a more robust taste. Imagine you’re making a tea, but in butter! 

2. Next, you want to sieve (or whisk) your flour, baking powder, and salt to eliminate any
pesky clumps. There’s nothing worse than getting a lump of flour in a bite of your
dessert.

3. You want to make sure you whisk your egg before you add any ingredients. This just
helps to incorporate some air into the egg so that the donuts are light and fluffy. I
recommend whisking it for at least 1 minute as we aren’t using a stand or hand mixer.

BAKING THE DONUTS

I have used a small donut pan, so this makes enough for 9-10 donuts. However if you are
using a regular sized donut pan, it might only make 6. Make sure your pan is properly
greased so the donuts come out easily. 

If you don’t have a piping bag, a ziplock bag works just as well to get the mixture into the

tins! Simply fill your bag and add your mixture, I typically do one round with the piping bag.
But at the end just make sure the mixture is divided evenly. 

Then bake in a preheated oven for 10-11 minutes. You’ll know they’re ready when you press
on the donut and it feels springy. 

HOW TO MAKE THE GLAZE

The glaze is super simple to make, but man does it pack a vanilla punch! I recommend using
vanilla bean paste if you have it, as the specks and flavour really make a difference and
bring these donuts up on the luxe level. 

In a bowl add your icing sugar and vanilla, add half of your milk, stirring until combined.
Gradually add the rest of the milk, stopping if desired consistency has been reached. To test
the consistency, put some of the glaze on your finger and see if it runs off quickly (too thin)
