Donut Essentials
Warm cinnamon sugar donuts are a delightful treat that combines sweet and spicy flavors in a soft, fluffy bite.
You can easily create these delicious snacks at home.
Ingredients
- All-purpose flour
- Baking powder
- Ground cinnamon
- Ground nutmeg
- Milk
- Vanilla extract
- Eggs
- Unsalted butter
- Cinnamon sugar
Start by preheating your oven to 350°F (177°C).
Then, get a donut pan ready by greasing it lightly with non-stick spray.
This will help your donuts release easily.
In one bowl, whisk together the dry ingredients: all-purpose flour, baking powder, ground cinnamon, and ground nutmeg.
This combination gives your donuts a soft texture and a warm flavor.
In a separate bowl, mix the wet ingredients: milk, vanilla extract, eggs, and melted unsalted butter.
Stir them until you have a smooth mixture.
Next, combine the wet and dry ingredients by gently folding them together.
You want a thick batter that’s well-blended without overmixing.
This keeps your donuts light and airy.
Pipe or spoon the batter into your prepared donut pan.
Fill each mold about three-quarters full to allow room for rising.
Bake the donuts for around 10-12 minutes or until they are lightly golden and spring back when touched.
Allow the donuts to cool for a few minutes before coating them.
Melt some butter and brush it over the top of each warm donut.
Then, dunk them in a bowl of cinnamon sugar to cover them completely.
Enjoy your homemade cinnamon sugar donuts while they’re warm!
