Instructions

1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a standard donut pan.

2. In a bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, cinnamon, and nutmeg.

3. In another bowl, beat melted butter and brown sugar until smooth. Add egg, milk, and vanilla; mix well.

4. Combine wet and dry ingredients until just mixed.

5. Pipe batter into donut pan, filling each cavity about 2/3 full.

6. Bake 9–11 minutes until lightly springy. Cool 5 minutes in pan, then transfer to a wire rack.

7. For glaze, whisk powdered sugar, maple syrup, and milk until smooth.

8. Dip donuts into glaze and let set.

Notes

Don’t overmix the batter; it helps keep the donuts fluffy.

Let the glaze set on a wire rack for a clean finish and less mess.
