1

Prepare the donut batter

In a mixing bowl, combine 2 cups of all-purpose flour, ½ cup of sugar, 1 teaspoon of baking powder, and a pinch of salt. In a separate bowl, whisk together ¾ cup of milk, 2 beaten eggs, and 2 tablespoons of melted butter. Gradually add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients and mix until a smooth batter forms.

2

Shape and fry the donuts

Heat vegetable oil in a deep fryer or large pot to 375°F (190°C). Take spoonfuls of the prepared batter and carefully drop them into the hot oil, shaping them into donut shapes as you go. Fry the donuts for about 2-3 minutes on each side, or until they are golden brown and cooked through. Remove them from the oil and let them cool on a wire rack.

3

Prepare the Pop-Tart-inspired glaze

In a small bowl, mix together 1 cup of powdered sugar, 2-3 tablespoons of milk, and a few drops of food coloring. Stir until a smooth and glossy glaze forms. Feel free to get creative with different colors to match your favorite Pop-Tart flavor!

4

Decorate your donuts

Once the donuts are completely cooled, dip the tops into the glaze and let the excess drip off. Decorate with sprinkles, crushed Pop-Tarts, or any other fun toppings you desire. Let the glaze set before devouring your masterpiece!
