What Are The Ingredients In Powdered Donuts?

I’ve kept the ingredients for these tasty powdered donuts as easy and simple for you as possible:

• Betty Crocker French Vanilla Cake Mix
• Eggs
• Milk
• Butter
• Powdered Sugar

How Do You Keep Powdered Sugar From Melting On Donuts?

So what is the white powder on donuts and how do you keep it from melting or disappearing?

It’s powdered sugar and the trick for making sure the powdered sugar doesn’t melt is to do this…

1. Bake these powdered sugar donuts, instead of frying them.

2. Then, once you have removed the donuts from the oven, wait 5 minutes to make sure the donuts have cooled.

3. Once the donuts have cooled, roll the donuts in fresh powdered sugar.

This process will ensure that your donuts maintain a nice, consistent powdered sugar coating that doesn’t disappear!!

In addition to using powdered sugar to coat your fresh baked donuts, you can also top your homemade donuts with one of these delicious scratch made frosting ideas…
