Instructions

To prepare the donuts:

1	Pour warm milk into small bowl. Gradually stir in granulated sugar and yeast until dissolve.
2	Let the mixture stand for about 10 minutes until the yeast activates and thick foam appears.
3	In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour and salt. Make a well in the centre and mix in butter, egg yolks and yeast.

To prepare the donut glaze:

1	Whisk together the powdered sugar, water and preferred food colouring in a bowl
2	Adjust consistency of glaze, by adding a small amount of sugar if the mixture is too water or by adding water if the mixture looks too thick.
3	Repeat the same procedure in different bowls to get various shades of colour.
