Donuts
Preheat oven to 350° and spray 2 donut pans with non-stick spray.
In a medium bowl, whisk together sugar, butter and milk. Add eggs and combine well. Whisk in vanilla.
In another bowl whisk together flour, baking powder and salt.Alternating with milk mixture, stir flour mixture into sugar/butter mixture. Start and finish with dry ingredients. Do not over work. Evenly distribute batter between donut pan openings. I like to use a pastry bag and pipe it in.Bake at 10-15 minutes, until golden brown and toothpick comes out with just a few moist crumbs. They will be deceiving, don't over bakeCool in pan for 10 minutes then turn out and cool completely on rack.
Glaze
In a small bowl, milk into Confectioners' sugar to desired consistency. Add in your flavoring.Dip donuts in glaze and twist as you come up. Sprinkle with dusting sugar.
