Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and prepare the donut pan with non-stick spray or melted butter.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the plain flour, sugar, cinnamon, baking powder, and salt.
  3. In another bowl, whisk eggs, milk, vanilla extract, and melted butter until smooth.
  4. Gradually add the dry mixture into the wet ingredients, stirring gently until just combined.
  5. Fill each cavity of the donut pan about two-thirds full with the batter.
  6. Bake for about 20-25 minutes until the donuts are light golden and spring back when touched.
  7. Let the donuts cool for about 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack.
  8. Melt unsalted butter and mix sugar with cinnamon for your coating.
  9. Brush each cooled donut with melted butter and roll in the cinnamon-sugar mixture.
  10. Melt chocolate and drizzle over the donuts if desired, then let set.
  11. Serve immediately for peak freshness with hot chocolate or your favorite dipping sauce.
