Donuts are a beloved treat for many, and there’s perhaps no flavor more comforting and indulgent than cinnamon sugar. These irresistible treats are a delightful way to satisfy your sweet tooth, and the best part is that they’re surprisingly easy to make at home. With just a few simple ingredients and a little bit of time, you can enjoy the warmth and coziness of freshly baked cinnamon sugar donuts right in your own kitchen.

To start, you’ll need to gather your ingredients. For the donut batter, you’ll need flour, sugar, baking powder, salt, nutmeg, milk, eggs, and butter. For the cinnamon sugar coating, you’ll need cinnamon and granulated sugar. You’ll also need a donut pan for baking. If you don’t have a donut pan, you can also use a muffin tin to make donut-shaped muffins.

To make the donut batter, start by mixing together the dry ingredients – the flour, sugar, baking powder, salt, and nutmeg. In a separate bowl, whisk together the milk, eggs, and melted butter. Then, add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients and mix until just combined. Be careful not to overmix the batter, as this can result in tough donuts.

Next, it’s time to fill the donut pan. If you’re using a piping bag, simply pipe the batter into the wells of the donut pan, filling each one about two-thirds of the way full. If you don’t have a piping bag, you can spoon the batter into the pan. Be sure to smooth out the tops of the batter to ensure even donuts.

Once the donut pan is filled, it’s time to bake the donuts in a preheated oven until they’re golden brown and cooked through. This usually takes about 10-12 minutes. While the donuts are baking, you can prepare the cinnamon sugar coating by mixing together the cinnamon and sugar in a shallow dish.

Once the donuts are done baking, remove them from the oven and allow them to cool for a few minutes. Then, carefully remove the donuts from the pan and immediately roll them in the cinnamon sugar coating until they’re completely coated. The warmth of the donuts will help the cinnamon sugar coating stick to them, resulting in a deliciously sweet and slightly crunchy exterior.

And there you have it – homemade cinnamon sugar donuts that are sure to satisfy your cravings for something sweet and comforting. These donuts are perfect for enjoying with a cup of coffee or tea, and they’re also a great treat to share with friends and family.

So why not give it a try and make your own batch of irresistible cinnamon sugar donuts at home? With their warm and comforting flavor, they’re sure to become a new favorite in your household. Happy baking!
