Ingredients

• For the donuts:
• 1 cup all-purpose flour
• 4 tbsp. white sugar
• 3 tbsp. brown sugar
• 1 tsp. baking powder
• 3/4 tsp. cinnamon
• 1/8 tsp salt, optional
• 6 tbsp buttermilk (I didn’t have any buttermilk on hand so I used 5 1/2 tbsp. of milk and 1/2 tsp. vinegar and let sit for 5 minutes)
• 1 egg
• 1/2 tsp. vanilla extract
• 1 tbsp butter, melted
• For the frosting:
• 1/2 cup icing sugar
• 1/8 tsp. cinnamon
• 1/2 – 3/4 tbsp. milk

Preparation

Step 1

1.Preheat oven to 325 F.
2.In a mixer put in all dry ingredients and mix until combined.
3.Add buttermilk (or milk/vinegar mixture), egg, vanilla, and butter and mix until batter-like consistency.
4.Using a piping bag or Ziplock bag with a whole cut in the corner, pipe batter into donut pan. I just poured from the bowl with my spatula and that worked too!
5.Bake for 10-13 minutes or until donuts spring back when touched.
6.Let cool in the pan for 5-10 minutes and transfer to an airtight container until you’re ready to frost.
7.For the frosting, whisk together icing sugar, cinnamon, and milk in a small bowl and pour over donuts.
8.Enjoy!
