Ingredients
2 cups all-purpose flour
1/2 cup granulated sugar
1 tablespoon baking powder
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon salt
3/4 cup milk
2 large eggs
1/4 cup melted butter
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
1/2 cup all-purpose flour
1/3 cup brown sugar
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/4 cup melted butter
1 cup powdered sugar
2 tablespoons milk
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions
1. Preheat the oven to 350°F and lightly grease a donut pan.
2. In a small bowl, mix 1/2 cup all-purpose flour, brown sugar, 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon, and 1/4 cup melted butter until crumbly. Set aside.
3. In a medium bowl, whisk together 2 cups all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon, and salt.
4. In another bowl, whisk together milk, eggs, 1/4 cup melted butter, and 2 teaspoons vanilla extract until smooth.
5. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir just until combined. Do not overmix.
6. Transfer the batter to a piping bag or zip-top bag with the corner snipped. Pipe the batter into the donut pan, filling each cavity about two-thirds full.
7. Sprinkle the crumb topping evenly over each donut and press very lightly so it sticks.
8. Bake for 12 to 15 minutes, or until the donuts spring back lightly when touched.
9. Cool the donuts in the pan for 5 minutes, then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.
10. In a small bowl, whisk together powdered sugar, 2 tablespoons milk, and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract until smooth.
11. Drizzle the vanilla glaze over the cooled donuts.
12. Let the glaze set for a few minutes, then serve.
Notes
Use a piping bag to fill the donut pan neatly and evenly.
Do not overmix the batter or the donuts may turn out dense instead of soft.
Wait until the donuts are fully cool before glazing so the vanilla glaze sets nicely on top.
