Working in three separate batches, beginning and ending with flour mixture, add ⅓ of the flour mixture alternating with half of the milk and mix just until combined after each addition.

Spoon the batter into buttered doughnut wells, filling them about ¼-inch from the rim.

Tint with food coloring, if desired. Warm in the microwave in 6 to 10-second intervals on high power to warm if it begins to set while dipping doughnuts. Whisk after heating.
