Friday Fatassery on a Tuesday: Baked Cinnamon Sugar Donuts



Hoo boy. I got a donut pan and asses are about to get a lot fatter up in here. I worked from home on Friday and had these mixed and done before I would've even stepped off the train in Center City.

At least they're baked and not fried? Of course, they are dipped in butter sooo...

Thanks to my Soul Sister Ina Garten for the original recipe. I halved hers and altered it a bit.

Ingredients
Baking spray with flour
1 cup flour
3/4 cups sugar
1 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon nutmeg
1/4 teaspoon kosher salt
1 large egg, lightly beaten
1/2 cup + 2 tablespoons of whole milk
1 tablespoon melted butter
1.5 teaspoons vanilla extract

For the topping: 4 tablespoons of butter, 1/4 cup sugar, 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon

Directions
Preheat oven to 350. Spray a donut pan well.

Combine flour, sugar, baking powder, cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt. In another bowl, whisk together egg, milk, melted butter, and vanilla. Add wet ingredients to dry until just combined.

Spoon batter into donut pan, filling each one a little more than 3/4 full.  Bake for 17 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean. Allow to cool for five minutes, then tap the donuts out.

Topping: melt 4 tablespoons of butter. Combine sugar and cinnamon in a small bowl. Dip each donut in the butter then in the sugar - one side or both if you're feeling frisky. It was Friday so they got a double dip in my house.

Pass the donuts, friend.
Scarf them down while they are hot.
Elastic pants rule.

  10. Oh, man. This is exactly what happened to me when I bought a little deep fat fryer. I instantly went up a dress size. I'm still trying to master donuts, but mine have to be gluten free so they're a bit of a tricky beast apparently. I might try modifying your baked recipe... Hmmm...

  23. I've never made donuts at home, but this recipe actually sounds pretty doable. (And I'm not a baker!) My mouth was watering looking at the pictures and imagining all the buttery, cinnamony, sugary goodness. Mmmm.
