Ingredients
All-purpose flour, 2 cups
Baking powder, 1 tsp
Unsalted butter (batter), 1/2 cup
Unsalted butter (coating), 1 tbsp
Large eggs, 3 units
Vanilla extract, 1 tsp
Ground cinnamon (batter), 1/2 tsp
Ground cinnamon (coating), 2 tbsp
Whole milk, 1 1/3 cups
Granulated sugar (batter), 1/3 cup
Granulated sugar (coating), 1/2 cup
Dark chocolate (chopped), 2 cups
Heavy cream, 1/4 cup
Instructions
Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C)
Combine flour, baking powder, 1/3 cup sugar, and 1/2 tsp cinnamon in a bowl
In separate bowl, whisk eggs, milk, 1/2 cup melted butter, vanilla
Mix wet ingredients into dry until just combined (avoid overmixing)
Fill donut molds 3/4 full with batter
Bake for 25 minutes or until golden
Immediately brush hot donuts with 1 tbsp melted butter
Toss in cinnamon-sugar coating (1/2 cup sugar + 2 tbsp cinnamon)
Let cool slightly, then dip in ganache (heat chocolate + cream, stir until glossy)
Notes
Room temperature eggs improve emulsification
Full-fat milk creates softer crumb
Coating butter and cinnamon while donuts are hot ensures adhesion
Ganache remains glossy due to precise cream ratio
