Instructions

- Add the dry ingredients, and stir together until just until incorporated. Don't overmix.1 cup all-purpose flour¹, ⅓ cup granulated sugar, 1 teaspoon baking powder, ½ teaspoon salt
- Divide the batter between the prepared wells, filling each about 3/4 full.
- Bake for 8-12 minutes, or until the donut springs back when lightly pressed.
- While the donuts are baking, stir sugar and cinnamon in a shallow dish.¼ cup granulated sugar, 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- Let cool in the pan 5 minutes.

Notes
- Be sure to properly measure the flour by sifting or stirring it, spooning it into the measuring cup, and then leveling it. Too much flour will give you a heavy, dense donut.
