Method

Ube Donuts

Pre-heat oven to 350°F.

Lightly coat non-stick donut pan with cooking spray.

Spoon the batter into each donut cavity about 3/4 of the way. Bake for 10 to 12 minutes or until tester inserted into a donut comes out clean. (Time is dependent on size of donuts, larger ones will be at the higher end of the cooking time.)

Place pan on a wire rack and cool for 10 minutes. Gently remove donuts from pan and cool completely.

Glaze

In a small bowl, combine sugar, vanilla and water. For thicker glaze, reduce water amount.
