3. In medium bowl, whisk together buttermilk, eggs, melted butter, vanilla, vinegar and gel color. Add buttermilk mixture to flour mixture, mixing just until incorporated. Divide batter evenly into prepared pan. 4. Bake 7-8 mins or until donuts spring back when lightly touched. Cool 5 minutes in pan, then remove to cooling grid to cool completely. 5. For vanilla icing, combine all ingredients in a mixing bowl and stir till sugar dissolves. Drizzle icing onto donuts, or dip top of donuts into icing to coat. If the icing starts to harden, add more hot water.
