Fry doughnuts a few at a time in hot oil until golden brown on each side, about 2 minutes.

Drain on paper towels or a wire rack.

Prepare the Glaze:

Melt butter in a saucepan, stir in sugar and vanilla.

Add hot water gradually until smooth and pourable.

Glaze the Doughnuts:

While doughnuts are still warm, dip or brush with glaze for that signature shine and sweetness.

Serving Tips

Enjoy warm for the ultimate indulgence.

Store leftovers in an airtight container for 1–2 days; reheat gently to refresh.

For extra fun, add sprinkles or a dusting of cinnamon sugar before the glaze sets.
