Ingredients
2 cups all-purpose flour
1/2 cup granulated sugar
1/4 cup brown sugar
2 teaspoons baking powder
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon salt
3/4 cup milk
2 large eggs
1/4 cup unsalted butter, melted
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
1/3 cup all-purpose flour
1/4 cup brown sugar
1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
3 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
1 cup powdered sugar
2 tablespoons milk
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions
1. Preheat the oven to 350°F and grease a donut pan well.
2. In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, granulated sugar, brown sugar, baking powder, cinnamon, and salt.
3. In another bowl, whisk the milk, eggs, melted butter, and vanilla extract until smooth.
4. Pour the wet mixture into the dry ingredients and stir just until combined. Do not overmix.
5. In a small bowl, mix the crumb topping ingredients until the mixture looks like moist crumbs.
6. Spoon or pipe the batter into the prepared donut pan, filling each cavity about three quarters full.
7. Sprinkle the crumb topping evenly over each donut.
8. Bake for 12 to 15 minutes, or until the donuts spring back lightly when touched.
9. Let the donuts cool in the pan for 5 minutes, then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.
10. Whisk together the powdered sugar, milk, and vanilla extract until smooth.
11. Drizzle or dip the cooled donuts with the vanilla glaze.
12. Let the glaze set for a few minutes before serving.
Notes
These donuts stay tender when the batter is mixed gently, so stop stirring as soon as the flour disappears.
If you do not have a piping bag, a zip-top bag with the corner snipped off makes filling the pan much easier.
For the best texture, glaze the donuts only after they are fully cooled.
