Ingredients
  

Donuts
  • 1 cup Plain Flour
  • 1 tsp baking powder
  • 1 pinch salt
  • 1/2 cup caster sugar
  • 1 tsp nutmeg

Coating
  • 1/2 cup caster sugar

Method
 

  1. Lightly grease 9 holes of a standard muffin tin. Preheat the oven to 180°C fan bake.
  2. Combine all the dry ingredients in a large bowl.
  3. Whisk the milk, egg, butter and vanilla together then pour onto the flour mixture. Gently but thoroughly stir together but don’t over-beat.
  4. Divide the batter between the holes of the prepared tin and bake for about 10 minutes, or until risen and golden.
  5. To finish: Combine the sugar and cinnamon in a bowl.
  6. When cool enough to handle and working with one cake at a time, brush it lightly all over with melted butter then toss in the sugar to coat on all sides. Repeat with the remaining cakes.
