And guess what? There is no yeast involved. These tasty donuts are made from a cake batter.
Cinnamon Sugar Donuts were always a staple every Sunday when I was young. My mom or dad would always stop at the local bakery to buy a dozen to enjoy after church. We had the most amazing local bakery back in the day. And their donuts were absolutely AMAZING and HUGE. Great memories…
Of course, each family member had their favorite type of donut. So my mom would always by a tasty variety which included these cake donuts. While these donuts are rolled in cinnamon sugar, they don’t have to be. You can easily make a simple glaze or chocolate ganache glaze for them instead.
And whether you spell it donut or doughnut, one thing is true…these old fashioned Cinnamon Sugar Doughnuts are so good that it is hard to stop at one.
Cinnamon Sugar Donuts Recipe Tips and Instructions
The beauty of the Cinnamon Sugar Donut recipe is that there is no yeast involved. Yeast can be intimidating, but this easy recipe doesn’t use any so that solves that problem. Instead, the recipe is a traditional cake donut. Think sweet biscuit dough.
The process for making these delicious Cinnamon Sugar donuts is simple. This easy donut recipe also makes fun donut holes which are great for the kids…..or just popping into your mouth
Tip One: Mix the batter just until incorporated. You don’t want to over mix the cake donut batter because it will make the donuts tough. The goal here is a light an fluffy donut.
Tip 2: Pat out dough on floured board, roll to 1/2” thick. Cut donuts and holes using 3” cutter and 1 1/2” cutter.
Tip 3: When donuts are lightly golden, turn with a wooden spoon
Tip 4: Don’t skimp on the cinnamon or sugar! I like to coat the donuts and donut holes in the cinnamon-sugar mixture as soon as I remove from the oil. I think it sticks better.
