Ingredients

2 cups all-purpose flour
1/2 cup granulated sugar
1 tablespoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/4 cup unsalted butter, melted
1/2 cup milk
2 large eggs
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 cup powdered sugar
1/4 cup maple syrup
1 tablespoon milk (for glaze)
Oil for frying (if frying)

Instructions

Prepare the Dough: In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, salt, and cinnamon. In another bowl, mix the melted butter, milk, eggs, and vanilla extract.
Combine Mixtures: Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir until just combined. Do not overmix.
Shape the Donuts: Roll out the dough on a floured surface to about 1/2 inch thick. Use a donut cutter to cut out the donuts and holes.
Fry or Bake: If frying, heat oil in a deep pot to 350°F (175°C) and fry the donuts for about 1-2 minutes on each side until golden brown. If baking, preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C) and place the donuts in a greased donut pan, baking for 10-12 minutes.
Make the Glaze: In a small bowl, whisk together the powdered sugar, maple syrup, and milk until smooth.
Glaze the Donuts: Once the donuts are cooled slightly, dip the tops into the glaze and let them set on a wire rack.
