  • In a separate vessel, combine buttermilk, eggs, melted butter, and vanilla extract until fully emulsified.

  • Allow donuts to rest in the pan for 5 minutes before transferring to a cooling rack.

  • Submerge the superior surface of each warm donut into the glaze and place on a wire rack for the coating to stabilize.
