<h3> Ingredients:</h3>
• <b> Dry Ingredients:</b>
1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
1/2 cup granulated sugar
1/4 cup packed brown sugar
2 tsp baking powder
1/4 tsp salt
• <b> Wet Ingredients:</b>
1/2 cup milk (whole or 2%)
1/4 cup unsalted butter, melted
1 large egg
1 tsp vanilla extract
1/4 tsp ground nutmeg (optional, for flavor)
• <b> For Coating:</b>
1/4 cup granulated sugar
1/2 tsp ground cinnamon
<h3> Instructions:</h3>
<b>1. Preheat Oven:</b> Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly grease a donut pan or use a non-stick spray.
<b>2. Mix Dry Ingredients:</b> In a large bowl, sift together the flour, granulated sugar, brown sugar, baking powder, and salt. If using, add ground nutmeg here.
<b>3. Mix Wet Ingredients:</b> In another bowl, whisk together the milk, melted butter, egg, and vanilla extract.
<b>4. Combine Mixtures:</b> Gradually add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients, stirring until just combined. Be careful not to overmix; the batter should be slightly lumpy.
<b>5. Fill Donut Pan:</b> Spoon the batter into the donut pan, filling each cavity about 2/3 full. Alternatively, use a piping bag or plastic bag with a cut corner to pipe the batter into the pan for a neater fill.
<b>6. Bake:</b> Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean and the donuts are golden brown.
<b>7. Cool:</b> Let the donuts cool in the pan for about 5 minutes, then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.
<b>8. Coat: </b> While the donuts are cooling, mix the granulated sugar and cinnamon in a small bowl. Once the donuts are cool enough to handle, lightly brush them with melted butter and roll them in the cinnamon-sugar mixture for a sweet finish.
