Step 3Spoon batter into a piping bag or resealable plastic bag. Cut off the tip and pipe batter into donut pans, filling each well about halfway. Step 4Bake for 8 to 10 minutes, or until the tops appear dry and the undersides are golden. Let cool 5 minutes before turning out. Let cool completely on a wire rack. Step 5In a medium bowl, whisk together the powdered sugar and 5 tablespoons of the maple syrup until smooth. If glaze is thick, add remaining maple syrup, a little bit at a time.
