Go for the gold medal in the Olympic Games watching by turning some doughnuts into an edible version of the Olympic rings. Set out these sweet treats on opening day or make a plate for a viewing party.
WHAT YOU’LL NEED:
- Five Doughnuts (Glazed or Plain)
- Doughnut Glaze (recipe below)
- Sanding Sugar in Olympic colors: Blue, Black, Red, Yellow, Green (sprinkles or food coloring and frosting would work, too)
- Five plates
Doughnut Glaze:
WHAT YOU’LL NEED:
- ½ cup confectioner’s sugar
- 4 tablespoons water
- Sifter
- Bowl
- Whisk
Step 1 Sift sugar into bowl
Step 2 Add water to bowl
Step 3 Whisk until sugar is completely dissolved—will make a thin glaze
How To Doughnuts:
Step 1 Fill five plates with one color each of blue, black, red, yellow, and green sanding sugar.
Step 2 Working one at a time, dip each doughnut into the glaze, then into one bowl of sugar. Act quickly before the glaze dries!
Step 3 Repeat until you have five sugar-covered doughnuts, one for each color.
Step 4 Plate your doughnuts, setting them out with three on top (L-R Blue, Black, Red), two on the bottom (L-R Yellow Green) to imitate Olympic Rings.
