- 1/2 cup whole milk
- 2 large eggs
- 1/4 cup unsalted butter, melted

Instructions
1. Make the Doughnuts:
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (180°C) and grease a doughnut pan.
- In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt.
- In a separate bowl, whisk the milk, eggs, melted butter, and vanilla extract until well combined.
- Gradually add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients, mixing gently until fully combined. Be careful not to overmix.
- Add a few drops of pink food coloring to the batter to give the doughnuts a Barbie-inspired pink hue.
- Spoon the batter into the prepared doughnut pan, filling each cavity about 3/4 full.
- Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the doughnuts comes out clean.
- Let the doughnuts cool in the pan for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
2. Prepare the Glaze:
- In a medium bowl, whisk together the powdered sugar, milk, and vanilla extract until smooth and slightly thick.
- Add a few drops of pink food coloring to achieve your desired shade of pink for the glaze.
- If you want a thicker glaze, add more powdered sugar. For a thinner glaze, add a bit more milk.
3. Glazing and Decorating:
- Once the doughnuts have cooled, dip the top of each doughnut into the pink glaze, allowing any excess to drip off.
- Sprinkle with pink sanding sugar, edible glitter, and Barbie-themed toppers for that extra sparkle and glam.
- If you have mini edible Barbie sunglasses or themed decorations, place them on top of each doughnut for a fun Barbie touch.
4. Serve and Enjoy:
Let the glaze set for a few minutes, then serve your “Barbie doughnuts” to your friends and family. These glamorous treats are perfect for any Barbie-themed occasion or a playful afternoon snack.
Tips:
- Customization: You can also fill your doughnuts with strawberry or vanilla cream to mimic the Barbie-inspired flavors from Krispy Kreme.
- For Extra Glam: Dust the doughnuts with a light coating of edible glitter or use colorful sprinkles to enhance the Barbie-themed look.
These homemade Barbie doughnuts are not only visually stunning but also deliciously fun to make and eat. Enjoy!
