In a large mixer add in the dry ingredients then mix in the wet ingredients until the batter is well combined.
Spray a Doughnut Pan with bake easy and then using either a spoon or a decorators bag, pipe in the doughnut batter. These typically need to be about 3/4 full to allow a little room for the doughnut to rise.
Bake these in the oven 10 minutes or until nice and brown. If you are making these gluten free, then you may need to bake for 15 minutes, simply test with a toothpick to be sure they are done in the middle.
While the doughnuts are baking mix together the glaze ingredients adding more milk if needed. (If you are using the glaze.)
Let the doughnuts cool on a wire rack.
Once the doughnuts have cooled drizzle the glaze over the doughnuts or ice with your favorite icing. Top with festive Christmas sprinkles and serve!
