Ingredients

  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/8 teaspoon ground nutmeg
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 cup plus 2 tablespoons tablespoons buttermilk (or regular milk with a teaspoon of white vinegar added)
  • 1 large egg (beaten)
  • 1/2 teaspoon vanilla

Instruction

  • To make the cinnamon topping, melt the butter in a small saucepan. Stir in the cinnamon, brown sugar, milk, and cornstarch.
  • Heat just until it begins to boil. Remove from the heat and stir in the vanilla.
  • Pour the cinnamon topping evenly into each well of your well greased donut pan.
  • To make the donuts. reheat the oven to 325 degrees. Lightly grease a donut pan.
  • In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, nutmeg, cinnamon, and salt.
  • In a small bowl, stir together the butter milk, egg, and oil.
  • Add the wet ingredients to the dry and stir with a wooden spoon until fully incorporated.
  • Drop spoonfuls of the batter into the donut pan over the cinnamon topping and bake for 10 minutes or until lightly browned and cooked through.
  • Remove from the oven and cool in the pan for two minutes before transferring to a wire rack. Some of the cinnamon topping will likely be left in your donut pan, but a good portion of it will have transferred to your donuts.
  • Cool donuts before glazing.
  • To make the glaze. whisk together the powdered sugar and cream until smooth. Spoon into a baggie and cut off a small corner of the bag. Pipe the glaze onto the donuts.
  • Serve immediately.
