Cinnamon Sugar Donuts are simple, sugary, and cozy homemade treats that I make every fall and winter! These classic fried donuts are sprinkled to perfection with sweet and earthy cinnamon sugar, making each bite even better than the last.

Ingredients
- ¾ cup buttermilk lukewarm
- 3 tablespoons granulated sugar
- 2 ¼ teaspoons active dry yeast (1 envelope)
- 3 large egg room temperature
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract pure
- ½ teaspoon kosher salt
- 4 cups all-purpose flour
- 9 tablespoons butter softened and cubed (1 stick + 1 tablespoon, unsalted
- vegetable oil
Cinnamon Sugar Coating
- ⅔ cup granulated sugar
- 2 tablespoons ground cinnamon
Instructions
- Combine the lukewarm buttermilk, sugar, and yeast in a large bowl. Whisk to dissolve the yeast. Leave for 5-10 minutes until foamy.
- Add in the eggs, vanilla, and salt.
- Add the flour. Mix using a dough hook on your mixer or by hand. Knead on low-medium speed for about 3 minutes, or until it forms a ball around the hook.
- Slowly incorporate the butter cubes, one piece at a time, and knead well. The dough has to be glossy and smooth.
- Once all of the butter is incorporated, turn the mixer up to medium speed and knead for 10-12 minutes.
- Transfer the dough to a lightly greased bowl, cover with plastic wrap, and allow to proof in a warm, draft-free place for about one hour or until doubled in size.
- Punch the dough down and turn it out onto a lightly floured surface. Use a rolling pin to roll to about 1/2" thickness, and use a donut cutter to cut out donuts (save the donut holes).
- Cover them with plastic wrap as you re-roll and cut out the remaining dough. Allow the donuts to proof at room temperature for 30-45 minutes.
- Fill a Dutch oven at least 2-3" deep with canola/vegetable oil and heat to about 350-360°F. Fry the donuts, three at a time, for 30 seconds on each side for a total of about 2-3 minutes (about 1 minute for the donut holes).
- Remove donuts from the oil with the spider tool and place on a tray lined with paper towels.
- Once slightly cooled, toss each donut in the bowl of cinnamon sugar, and set aside to cool.
Notes
- Storage: Store cinnamon sugar donuts in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days. Individually wrap and freeze fully-cooled donuts for up to 3 months. Allow frozen donuts to thaw for a few hours in the refrigerator before reheating.
