Final Touch
1. Once donuts have cooled, dip donuts into the glaze, flipping them over so both sides get covered.
2. Set on a cooling rack to dry. Make sure to place a piece of waxed paper or paper towel under the cooling rack for easier clean-up from the dripping glaze.
3. Serve and enjoy!
Baked goods shaped like a ring are often eaten on New Year’s Day. They are supposed to bring a year of good luck full circle.
Additionally, cinnamon is believed by some to attract success. And, since the donuts are baked, they are less fattening than if they were fried (but, who’s counting anyway).
