Baked French Breakfast Donuts...


5 tablespoons unsalted butter, room temperature
1/2 cup sugar
1 egg, beaten
1 1/2 cups flour
2 1/4 teaspoons baking powder
1/4 teaspoons salt
1/2 teaspoon nutmeg
1/2 cup milk (I used whole milk)
~
3 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
1/2 cup sugar
1 tablespoon cinnamon

Preheat oven to 180°C (350°F/Gas Mark 4). Coat donut pan generously with nonstick cooking spray. Set aside.

Cream together butter and sugar until fluffy.  Add egg; mix well.

(In a seperate bowl) Sift flour, baking powder, salt and nutmeg together. Add dry ingredients alternately with milk.

Fill donut tins half full. Bake 15-20 minutes. Take out of pan immediately and swirl tops into melted butter, then sugar and cinnamon mixture. 

Makes 6-7 big donuts.

*Note:  These work just as well in a muffin tin, too!
