Step-by-Step Instructions for Mini Cake Mix Donuts

Preheat your mini donut maker to 350°F (175°C) and spray donut wells with nonstick spray.
In a mixing bowl, combine cake mix, egg, oil, and water. Whisk until smooth.
Fill each well of the donut maker halfway with the batter and close the lid. Bake for about 3 minutes.
Carefully remove the donuts using a fork or spatula and place them on a cooling rack.
In a saucepan, melt butter and whisk in powdered sugar and milk until smooth for the glaze.
Dip each donut halfway into the glaze and allow excess glaze to drip off before placing back on the rack.
