Ingredients
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 1/2 tsp baking powder
- 1/4 tsp baking soda
- 1/4 tsp salt
- 1/2 tsp ground cinnamon
- 1/2 cup buttermilk or milk with a splash of lemon juice
- 1 large egg
- 2 tbsp unsalted butter melted
- 2 tbsp vegetable oil
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a donut pan (or use a silicone one).
- In a mixing bowl, combine the flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and ground cinnamon and whisk together until well combined.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the buttermilk, egg, melted butter, vegetable oil, and vanilla extract until smooth.
- Gently fold the wet ingredients into the dry mix, stirring until just combined, being careful not to over-mix.
- Transfer the batter into the donut pan using a piping bag or by spooning the batter into each cavity, filling them about 3/4 full.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Let the donuts cool for a few minutes before removing them from the pan.
- Mix sugar and cinnamon in a small bowl and roll each warm donut in the mixture until well coated.
- Serve immediately and let the smiles follow!
