Add enough icing sugar until the desired consistency is reached. If glaze is too thick, add 1/2 teaspoon orange juice at a time. If it is too thin, add 1 tablespoon icing sugar at a time.
- Dip the slightly cooled doughnuts into the glaze and place back onto the wire rack. Sprinkle with lavender bud. Allow to sit until glaze sets.
- Doughnuts are best consumed the same day
*Note: if you don't have a doughnut pan, you can make these in a muffin tin as well. Bake times may need to be adjusted depending on the size of the muffin tin.
