Equipment

  • 1 Mixing Bowl
  • 1 Doughnut Pan

Ingredients
  

  • 2 Cups Flour
  • 1 tsp Cinnamon
  • 1.5 Cups Sugar 1
  • 2 tsp Baking Powder
  • 1/2 tsp Nutmeg
  • 1/2 tsp Salt
  • 1 extra large Egg (lightly beaten)
  • 2 tbsp Butter (unsalted, melted)
  • 2 tsp Vanilla

Cinnamon + Sugar Topping

  • 1 Stick Butter (unsalted, melted)
  • 1/2 Cup Sugar
  • 1/2 tsp Cinnamon

Instructions
 

  • Preheat the oven to 350F. Spray 2 doughnut pans well.
  • Into a large bowl, sift together the flour, sugar, baking powder, cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt.
  • In a smaller bowl, whisk together the egg, milk, melted butter, and vanilla. Stir the wet mixture into the dry mixture.
  • Spoon the batter into the baking pans, filling each one a little more than three-quarters full.
  • Bake for 17 minutes, until a toothpick comes out clean. Allow to cool for 5 minutes, then tap the doughnuts out onto a sheet pan.
  • For the topping, melt the 8 tablespoons of butter in an 8-inch saute pan. Combine the sugar and cinnamon in a small bowl. Dip each doughnut first in the butter and then in the cinnamon sugar, either on one side or both sides.
