Method
 

  1. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C).

  4. In a separate bowl, whisk the melted butter, eggs, vanilla extract, and milk until smooth.
  5. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir until just combined; do not overmix.
  6. Divide the batter into three bowls and tint each portion with red, orange, or yellow food coloring.
  7. Spoon the colored batters into the donut pan in swirls or layers to create a fiery design.
  8. Bake for 10-12 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in a donut comes out clean.
  9. Let the donuts cool in the pan for 3-5 minutes, then transfer to a cooling rack.
  10. In a small bowl, whisk the powdered sugar and milk until smooth to make the glaze.
