These donuts are especially light and fluffy. There is no cake-based baking here, but the yeast-based dough does take a bit longer to make because it needs time to rise.

Yields: Makes 10 to 14 donuts.

Ingredients

• 1 egg ¼ cup of granulated sugar
• 1 cup of warmed milk (115º F)
• 1 tablespoon of active dry yeast
• 1 teaspoon of salt
• 2 teaspoons of vanilla extract
• 2 ½ to 3 ½ cups of unbleached flour, divided (plus more for kneading)
• 1 stick of butter, cubed

For the Topping

• 1 stick of butter, melted
• 1 cup of granulated sugar
• 2 tablespoons of cinnamon

Method of Preparation:

• Using a stand mixer with a paddle attachment, beat the egg and sugar together on medium speed for about 1 minute.
• Add the yeast, salt, milk, and vanilla. Reduce the mixer to low.
• Add 2 cups of flour.
• Attach the dough hook and increase the speed to medium.
• Add the butter piece by piece and mix until smooth. Then, reduce the speed to low.
• Add the rest of the flour, and mix until the dough sticks to the hook. It should be soft and moist, but not sticky.
• Set the dough on a floured surface, and knead until it is smooth.
• Coat a mixing bowl with cooking spray, and set the dough in the bowl. Cover with a damp towel and allow the dough to rise until it has doubled in volume. This usually takes about one hour.
• Punch down the dough and roll it out to about ½-inch thickness.
• Using biscuit cutters, cut the dough into rounds with one-inch holes.
• Preheat the oven to 400º F.
• Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and place the donuts on the baking sheet about 1 inch apart.

• 1 teaspoon of milk
• 1 teaspoon of cornstarch
• 1 teaspoon of vanilla

• ¼ cup of powdered sugar
• 3 tablespoons of heavy cream

Method of Preparation
