Delicious Cinnamon Doughnuts Recipe for a Sweet Treat

Ingredients

Servings:
14
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 2 teaspoons baking powder
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 cup milk
  • 1 cup unsalted butter (melted)
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 cup powdered sugar (for coating)

Instructions

7 steps

  1. Preheat Oven

    Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).

    Make sure the oven is fully preheated for even baking.
  2. Mix Dry Ingredients

    In a bowl, whisk together flour, sugar, baking powder, cinnamon, and salt.

    Sift the flour for a lighter texture.
  3. Combine Wet Ingredients

    In another bowl, beat the egg, then add milk, melted butter, and vanilla extract.

    Ensure the butter is not too hot to avoid cooking the egg.
  4. Combine Mixtures

    Gradually add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients, mixing until just combined.

    Do not overmix to keep the doughnuts light.
  5. Fill Doughnut Pan

    Spoon the batter into a greased doughnut pan, filling each mold about 2/3 full.

    Use a piping bag for neat filling.
  6. Bake

    Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes or until golden.

    Check for doneness with a toothpick.
  7. Cool and Coat

    Let the doughnuts cool for a few minutes, then coat with powdered sugar.

    Shake off excess sugar for a lighter coating.
