Ingredients

Scale
  • 1/4 cup butter (cold and cut into pieces)
  • 1/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 3 1/2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
  • 1/4 teaspoon cinnamon
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1 large egg (at room temperature)
  • 1/2 cup sour cream
  • 1/2 cup light brown sugar (packed)
  • 2 1/2 tablespoons butter (melted)
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F and prepare a 6-mold donut pan with non-stick spray.
  2. In a small bowl, mix granulated sugar, flour, and cinnamon for the crumb topping. Cut in cold butter until crumbly, then chill.
  3. Whisk dry ingredients (flour, baking powder, salt) in one bowl; whisk wet ingredients (egg, sour cream, melted butter, brown sugar) in another until smooth.
  4. Fold the wet mixture into the dry until just combined. Avoid overmixing.
  5. Fill the donut pan molds with batter and sprinkle generously with chilled crumb topping.
  6. Bake for 10-11 minutes or until donuts spring back when pressed. Cool in the pan for 10 minutes before transferring to a wire rack.
