Ingredients

Scale

Donut Batter

  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 tablespoon baking powder
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup whole milk
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1/4 cup unsalted butter, melted
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Cinnamon Sugar Coating

  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
  • 1/4 cup unsalted butter, melted

Cream Filling

  • 1 cup heavy whipping cream
  • 2 tablespoons powdered sugar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Instructions

  1. Preheat and Prepare Pan: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and lightly grease a donut pan to prevent sticking.
  2. Mix Dry Ingredients: In a large bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, ground cinnamon, and salt until evenly combined.
  3. Mix Wet Ingredients: In a separate bowl, combine the whole milk, eggs, melted unsalted butter, and vanilla extract, mixing thoroughly.
  4. Combine Batter: Gradually add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients, stirring gently until just combined. Avoid overmixing to keep the donuts tender.
  5. Fill Donut Pan: Spoon the batter into the prepared donut pan, filling each cavity about 3/4 full to allow room for rising.
  6. Bake Donuts: Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the donuts comes out clean.
  7. Cool Donuts: Let the donuts cool slightly in the pan before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
  8. Prepare Cinnamon Sugar Coating: In a shallow dish, stir together the granulated sugar and ground cinnamon. Brush each cooled donut with melted butter, then roll them in the cinnamon sugar mixture until fully coated.
  9. Make Cream Filling: Beat the heavy whipping cream, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract in a medium bowl until stiff peaks form using a hand mixer or whisk.
  10. Fill Donuts: Using a piping bag fitted with a small nozzle, gently inject the cream filling into the center of each donut.
  11. Serve or Store: Serve the cinnamon sugar baked donuts fresh, or store them in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to two days.

Notes

  • Ensure not to overmix the batter to keep the donuts light and fluffy.
  • You can substitute whole milk with buttermilk for a tangier flavor.
  • Use fresh cinnamon for the best aromatic coating.
  • Fill the donuts with cream just before serving to avoid sogginess.
  • Store leftovers in the refrigerator and reheat slightly before enjoying.
