Ingredients
 

for the baked donuts

  • 1 egg
  • Milk - ½ cup
  • Unsalted butter - 1 tablespoon melted
  • Sugar - ¾ cup
  • All purpose flour - 1 cup
  • Baking powder - 1 teaspoon
  • Ground cinnamon - ½ teaspoon
  • few dash of nutmeg
  • Salt - ¼ teaspoon

for the simple cinnamon sugar dusting

  • 4 tablespoons melted butter
  • ¼ cup granulated white sugar
  • ½ teaspoon cinnamon powder

for icing sugar glaze

  • ¼ cup powdered sugar
  • 1 tablespoon water
  • A tiny drop of food color of your choice
  • Sprinkle of your choice.

Instructions
 

  • Preheat oven to 350 F
  • In a mixing bowl, crack the egg, pour the milk, add the sugar and melted butter. Whisk to mix everything.
  • Place a sifter on top of the bowl and add all the dry ingredients (flour, salt, baking powder, ground cinnamon and nutmeg). Sift it to the bowl.
  • Using a rubber spatula, fold the dry to the wet gently until it comes together. Do not over mix or whisk. It’s ok if the batter doesn’t look too smooth.
  • Butter the donut pan and pour the batter leaving a little space on top for the donut to rise.
  • Bake for 17 minutes.
  • While the donut is baking, keep the melted butter in a bowl and mix the sugar and cinnamon in a plate. Keep aside.
  • Whisk the powdered sugar with the water until it looks smooth. Add the food color and whisk once again.  
  • Once the donuts are baked, take it off the pan. It should come out easy.
  • While the donuts are still warm, dip in melted butter then dip in the sugar cinnamon mixture. For the icing sugar glaze, let the donut cool down a little bit then either dip the donuts on the icing sugar bowl or drizzle the icing on the donut. Add the sprinkles while the icing glaze is still wet.  
  • Enjoy these fresh!
