FOR THE DONUTS:
5 Tablespoons Butter, Softened (I Use Salted)
1/2 cups Sugar
1 Large Egg
1/2 teaspoons Vanilla Extract
1/2 cups Milk (whole Preferred)
1-1/2 cup All-purpose Flour
1-1/2 teaspoon Baking Powder
1/4 teaspoons Salt
1/2 teaspoons Cinnamon (optional)
FOR THE COATING:
4 Tablespoons Salted Butter, Melted
1/4 cups Sugar
2 teaspoons Cinnamon
3/4 cups Powdered Sugar

1
Preheat oven to 400 F. In the bowl of a stand mixer, cream 5 tablespoons butter and sugar. Add egg, vanilla and milk and mix to combine. Put flour, baking powder, salt and 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon (if using) in the bowl all at once and stir with a wooden spoon, being careful not to over mix.
2
Spoon batter into buttered mini-muffin tins, filling each well almost to the top. You should end up with about 18-20 mini-muffins.
3
Bake for about 11-13 minutes, or until they just spring back when pressed and are slightly golden. Remove pan from oven and set on a wire rack. Let them cool for about 5 minutes, then remove muffins from the pan and let them cool while you get the coating ready.
4
Pour 4 tablespoons melted butter in a small bowl. You may end up needing more.
5
If making powdered sugar donuts, pour 3/4 cup powdered sugar into a small bowl.
6
If making cinnamon sugar donuts, pour cinnamon and sugar into a small bowl.
7
When muffins are almost all the way cooled, dunk completely in butter, then roll in either powdered sugar or cinnamon sugar mixture. Place on rack to let coating firm up slightly. Enjoy!
