Ingredients
4 tablespoons unsalted butter, softened
1/3 cup granulated sugar
1 large egg
1/3 cup whole milk
1 cup all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking powder
1/4 teaspoon kosher salt
1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted (for coating)
3/4 cup powdered sugar
Directions
Preheat your oven to 350°F. Lightly spray a 24-cup mini muffin pan with non-stick baking spray.
In a large bowl, beat together the softened butter and granulated sugar until the mixture is light and well blended, approximately 1-2 minutes.
Add the egg to the butter mixture and beat until fully incorporated.
Pour in the milk and stir gently to combine, then add the flour, baking powder, salt, and cinnamon. Beat the batter until just combined, about 1-2 minutes; do not overmix.
Carefully spoon about 1 tablespoon of batter into each prepared mini muffin cup, filling each one about two-thirds full.
Bake in the preheated 350°F oven for 13-15 minutes, until the donut holes are light golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Remove the pan from the oven and let the donut holes cool in the pan for about 10 minutes, then carefully turn them out onto a wire rack to cool completely.
Once completely cooled, brush or dip each donut hole in the melted butter, then immediately roll in the powdered sugar until well coated.
Serve immediately and enjoy your sweet, tender donut holes.
