Glaze goes on hot or it goes on wrong.
A shallow pan of thin sugar glaze beside the fryer, where raised rings are dragged through face-down within a minute of coming out of the fat.
The story Cited · wp-glaze-cooking
Glaze is a thin coating applied to food — here, powdered sugar with water or milk and sometimes a little fat, thin enough to run off and set clear. On a hot ring it soaks the crust and hardens into a shell; on a cool one it sits on top and stays tacky.
Cake rings are finished differently for the same reason: a hot cake ring drinks a thin glaze and goes soggy, so it takes sugar, cinnamon sugar or a heavier icing instead.
How it is done Cited · wp-glaze-cooking
Dip, turn, lift, drain on a screen. The pan is topped up all morning and the glaze thickens as the shop warms.
Today Cited · wp-glaze-cooking
The glaze table is where a shop's whole tray of raised donuts is either made or ruined, in about a minute each.
