Ingredients
  

Doughnut Ingredients
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 0.5 cup granulated sugar
  • 1.5 teaspoon baking powder
  • 0.25 teaspoon salt
  • 0.25 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 0.5 cup milk
  • 0.5 teaspoon white vinegar
  • 0.5 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
  • 1 large egg
  • 4 tablespoon unsalted butter softened
Vanilla Glaze Ingredients
  • 2 tablespoon milk
  • 0.5 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
  • 1 cup powdered sugar

Method
 

Doughnut Preparation Steps
  1. Preheat oven to 350˚F.
  2. In a large bowl whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, salt, and cinnamon; set aside.
  3. In a small saucepan bring together the milk, white vinegar, vanilla, egg, and butter.
  4. Cook over medium-heat, stirring constantly with a whisk until the butter melts, about one minute. Remove from heat.
  5. Add the milk mixture into the flour mixture; mix until combined.
  6. Using a large tablespoon, spoon the doughnut mixture into an ungreased doughnut pan.
  7. Bake for 12 to 14 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted comes out clean.
  8. Remove from oven and immediately invert the pan onto a cooling rack.
  9. While the doughnuts are cooling, begin to work on the glaze.
Vanilla Glaze
  1. Place all the glaze ingredients in a small saucepan and cook over medium-heat, whisking constantly just until combined and no lumps appear.
  2. Set the saucepan over a bowl filled with hot water.
  3. Dip the doughnuts into the glaze, one at a time, and set on a rack, glaze side up. Put something underneath the rack because some of that glaze will drip off.
  4. Give it a few minutes before you dig in.

Notes

Store baked cinnamon doughnuts at room temperature in an airtight container for up to 2-3 days for best freshness.
