Bring your donuts to life with incredible flavour using concentrates from Universal Flavours! Whether you're a home baker or a commercial kitchen, our premium flavourings help you create standout donuts that are rich, aromatic, and irresistibly tasty.
Add our flavour concentrates to your donut dough for a subtle infusion or to the glaze for a punch of delicious taste.
Prepare Your Donuts
Use your favourite donut dough recipe—yeast-raised for fluffy, airy donuts or cake based for a denser texture. Fry or bake until golden brown.
Choose Your Flavour Application
You can use flavour concentrates in two ways:
- Add to the **dough**: Use 1/4 to 1/2 tsp flavour concentrate per batch (500g flour equivalent).
- Add to the **glaze**: This is the most popular method. Use 1/4 tsp per 1 cup of icing sugar glaze and adjust to taste.
Make Your Flavoured Glaze
In a bowl, mix:
- 1 cup powdered sugar
- 1–2 tbsp milk or cream
- 1/4 tsp of your chosen flavour concentrate
Whisk until smooth. Adjust thickness with more sugar or milk.
Flavour, Dip & Dry
Dip warm donuts into the glaze or brush on top. Let them rest on a cooling rack until the glaze sets.
- Always add flavour in small amounts and taste-test before increasing.
- Pair complementary flavours (e.g., vanilla + cinnamon, lemon + blueberry).
- Let flavoured glazes sit for a few minutes to enhance depth.
