Directions

Step 1

In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, 1 teaspoon cinnamon, salt, and nutmeg until well combined.

Step 2

In another bowl, whisk together the melted butter, milk, egg, and vanilla extract.

Step 7

Fry the donuts for about 2-3 minutes per side, or until they are golden brown and cooked through.

Step 8

Remove the donuts from the oil using a slotted spoon and place them on a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil.

Step 9

In a small bowl, mix the remaining 0.5 teaspoon ground cinnamon with 0.5 cup of granulated sugar.

Step 10

Once the donuts are cool enough to handle, roll them in the cinnamon-sugar mixture until fully coated.
