Instructions
Preparation
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a donut pan lightly.
- In a large bowl, mix the flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, salt, and the first teaspoon of cinnamon together until combined.
- In another bowl, whisk together the milk, melted butter, egg, and vanilla extract until soft and smooth.
- Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir until just combined, being careful not to overmix.
- Transfer the donut dough into a piping bag or a zip-top bag with a corner snipped off.
- Fill each donut cavity about halfway full, ensuring even distribution.
Baking
- Bake in the preheated oven for about 10-12 minutes or until the donuts are golden and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
- While the donuts bake, combine the remaining sugar and cinnamon in a shallow bowl.
Coating
- Once the donuts are out of the oven, let them cool for a few minutes.
- While they’re still warm, roll them in the cinnamon sugar mixture to coat fully.

Notes
Allow donuts to cool completely before storing to prevent moisture build-up. Store in an airtight container for 2-3 days at room temperature or refrigerate for up to 1 week.
