To make the icing, brown the butter & cool for a few minutes. Learn how to brown butter here!

Then, add the powdered sugar, cardamom, & milk and whisk until the icing is smooth.

S T E P 5

Dip each cooled donut halfway into the glaze, letting the excess glaze drip off. Decorate with pecans, sprinkles, cardamom, or icing carrots.

To decorate the donuts with icing carrots, all you need is some orange icing and  green icing! It's easy - just pipe the carrots with a medium round tip and add stems with a smaller round piping tip.

RECIPE TIPS

1. Grate your own carrots. They taste much better! 2. Avoid over-baking the donuts - they should be moist. 3. Let the donuts cool before glazing. Much easier!

SERVING THE DONUTS

These donuts are perfect for Easter, Halloween, or any spring/autumn holiday. But, we also eat them year round with hot coffee - so delicious any time of the year!
