Ingredients
- 2 Cups Flour

- 1.5 Cups Sugar 1
- 2 tsp Baking Powder
- 1/2 tsp Nutmeg
- 1/2 tsp Salt

Cinnamon + Sugar Topping
- 1 Stick Butter (unsalted, melted)
- 1/2 Cup Sugar

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.
