Directions:

1. Place the confectioners’/icing sugar, corn syrup/golden syrup, salt, vanilla, and hot water (for a small batch, 1⁄3 cup/75 ml plus 1 tbsp; for a big batch, 1⁄2 cup/180 ml) in a large mixing bowl or in the work bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the pad­dle attachment.
2. Using a whisk, or with the machine on low speed, blend until the mixture is smooth and all of the sugar has been incorporated, scraping the sides of the bowl with a rubber spatula if necessary. If the glaze seems too thick, add more hot water, a teaspoon at a time.
3. To glaze, dip one side of each hot doughnut into the warm glaze, and let dry for 10 to 15 minutes before serving.
