Ingredients
  

1 cup all-purpose flour

1/2 cup granulated sugar

2 tsp baking powder

1/2 tsp baking soda

1/2 tsp salt

1 tsp ground cinnamon

1/4 tsp nutmeg (optional)

1/2 cup milk (can substitute with whole or almond milk)

1 large egg

1/4 cup unsalted butter, melted

1 tsp vanilla extract

1/4 cup granulated sugar (for topping)

1 tsp ground cinnamon (for topping)

Instructions
 

Preheat the Oven: Set your oven temperature to 350°F (175°C). Prepare a donut pan by greasing it with cooking spray or a touch of butter; this will help the donuts come out easily after baking.

    Combine Dry Ingredients: In a spacious mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, baking soda, salt, ground cinnamon, and nutmeg (if using). Ensure the mixture is well blended without any lumps.

      Mix Wet Ingredients: In another bowl, combine the milk, large egg, melted unsalted butter, and vanilla extract. Whisk these ingredients together until they form a smooth mixture.

        Combine Both Mixtures: Gently pour the wet mixture into the dry ingredients. Stir until just combined; be careful not to overmix—it's perfectly fine to have a few lumps in the batter.

          Fill the Donut Pan: Transfer your batter into a piping bag or a zip-top bag with one corner snipped off. Fill each cavity of the donut pan about two-thirds full.

            Bake the Donuts: Place the filled pan in your preheated oven and bake for 10-12 minutes. The donuts are done when they spring back lightly to the touch.

              Cool the Donuts: Once baked, let the donuts cool in the pan for about 5 minutes. Then, carefully transfer them to a wire rack and allow them to cool completely.

                Prepare Cinnamon Sugar Coating: In a small bowl, combine the 1/4 cup of granulated sugar with the 1 tsp of ground cinnamon, stirring until evenly mixed.

                  Coat the Donuts: After the donuts have cooled, use a brush to apply melted butter to each donut. Next, roll or dip each one into the cinnamon-sugar mixture until they are generously coated.

                    Serve and Enjoy: Delight in your scrumptiously sweet baked donuts while they are warm or at room temperature. Pair them with a comforting cup of coffee or refreshing glass of milk for a perfect treat!
