Ingredients

• 1 egg
• 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
• ½ teaspoon vanilla extract
• ½ teaspoon baking powder
• ⅛ teaspoon salt
• ¼ cup milk
• ⅓ cup white sugar
• ⅔ cup all-purpose flour
• ¼ teaspoon ground nutmeg, or more to taste
• 5 tablespoons softened butter

Recipe Instructions

Step 1

Bake in the preheated oven until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean, 10 to 12 minutes.

Step 2

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease miniature muffin cups or line with paper liners.

Step 3

Make the doughnuts: Whisk flour, baking powder, nutmeg, and salt together in a bowl. Stir milk and vanilla extract together in a separate bowl. Beat butter and sugar together in a third bowl using an electric mixer until smooth and creamy; beat in egg.

Step 4

Stir flour mixture, alternating with milk mixture, into butter mixture until batter is smooth. Spoon batter into a piping bag and pipe into muffin cups, about 2/3-full.

Step 5

Meanwhile, make the coating: Mix sugar and cinnamon together in a bowl; add warm doughnuts and gently toss with hands until coated.
