DOUGHNUTS:
1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
2 teaspoons baking powder
2 tablespoons cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/8 teaspoon nutmeg
1 tablespoon unsalted butter
1/2 cup low-fat milk (1%)
1/3 cup granulated sugar
1 egg
1 tablespoon canola oil
1 teaspoon vanilla extract

GLAZE:
2 tablespoons granulated sugar
1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
1/4 cup powdered sugar
1 1/2-2 teaspoons hot water

1. Preheat the oven to 350°F. Spray a mini-doughnut pan with nonstick cooking spray.

2. Sift together the flour, baking powder, cinnamon, salt, and nutmeg onto a sheet of wax paper.

3. In a medium saucepan over low heat, melt the butter and continue cooking, stirring gently, until golden brown and fragrant, 3-4 minutes (do not allow to burn). Remove from the heat and whisk in the milk, sugar, egg, oil, and vanilla until smooth, 1 minute. Gradually add the flour mixture, beating until well blended.

4. Spoon the dough into a large pastry bag fitted with a 1/4-inch tip. Pipe 1/3 of the dough into the molds of the prepared pan, filling them about 2/3 full. Bake until springy to the touch, about 7-10 minutes. Set on a rack to cool slightly. Repeat with the remaining dough.

5. Meanwhile, prepare the glaze: in a small bowl, combine the granulated sugar and cinnamon set aside.

6. In another small bowl, combine the powdered sugar with 1 1/2 tsp of the hot water, adding a little more water as needed, until you have a thin glaze. Brush a thin layer of glaze onto the top of each still-warm doughnut sprinkle each immediately with a little of the cinnamon-sugar mixture. Serve warm.

NOTE: If you don’t have a pastry bag, use a zippered plastic bag and cut off a bottom corner equal to 1/4 inch.
