Ingredients:
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 2 tsp baking powder
- 1/2 tsp baking soda
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1/2 tsp ground cinnamon
- 1/4 tsp ground nutmeg
- 1 cup buttermilk
- 1 large egg
- 2 tbsp unsalted butter, melted
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- For the cinnamon sugar coating:
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 1 tsp ground cinnamon
- 1/4 cup unsalted butter, melted
Instructions:
Preheat your oven to 350F 175C and grease a doughnut pan
In a mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, salt, cinnamon, and nutmeg
In another bowl, mix buttermilk, egg, melted butter, and vanilla extract
Combine the wet and dry ingredients until just combined
Be careful not to overmix
Spoon the batter into a zip-top bag, cut off the corner, and pipe it into the doughnut pan, filling each cavity about 2/3 full
Bake for 12-15 minutes or until the doughnuts are lightly golden and a toothpick comes out clean when inserted
While the doughnuts are baking, mix the granulated sugar and ground cinnamon for the coating in a shallow bowl
Once the doughnuts are done, let them cool in the pan for a few minutes, then transfer them to a wire rack
While still warm, brush each doughnut with melted butter, then roll them in the cinnamon sugar mixture to coat evenly
Serve warm and enjoy!
