Ingredients

Donuts

  • cups all purpose flour
  • teaspoons baking powder
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • 1 Tablespoon ground cinnamon
  • ½ cup unsalted butter room temperature
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 large egg room temperature
  • 1 cup whole milk
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Cinnamon Sugar Topping

Instructions

Donuts

  • Heat oven to 350℉/177℃.
  • Brush donut pans with vegetable oil. Set aside.
  • In a medium bowl, combine flour, baking powder, salt and cinnamon. Set aside.
  • In a separate bowl, beat butter and sugar until light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.
  • Add egg and beat until fully incorporated.
  • Add flour mixture alternately with milk, beginning and ending with flour mixture.
  • Stir in vanilla.
  • Pour batter into a piping bag.
  • Pipe into donut pans, filling each about ½ way.
  • Bake for 20-25 minutes, until donuts test done.

Topping

  • In a small bowl, whisk together sugar and cinnamon. Set aside.

Assembly

  • While the donuts are baking, make the topping.
  • As soon as donuts come out of oven, remove them from pans and toss with cinnamon sugar.

Notes

How To Store
  • Once the donuts have cooled, you can easily store them in a large freezer safe bag, and keep them in either the freezer or fridge! They reheat so well and keep for months in the freezer.
  • Just set out onto the counter to let the donuts come to room temperature, or pop them into the microwave for a deliciously warm donut.
Tips for Success
  • Room temperature is about 70℉/21℃.
  • Make sure the donuts are still warm when coating them with the cinnamon sugar! Once they cool, the sugar will not stick as well.
  • The donuts taste better at room temperature than hot.
