Instructions

Preheat the oven to 400°F. Spray two (6-well) donut baking pans with baking spray.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, cinnamon, salt, and nutmeg.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the buttermilk, egg, butter, vegetable oil, and vanilla. Add the buttermilk mixture to the flour mixture, whisking until fully combined. Transfer the mixture to a piping bag.
Pipe about 1/4 cup donut batter into each well. Bake until donuts are puffed and lightly golden, about 8 to 10 minutes. Immediately invert onto a wire rack and coat with cinnamon sugar or vanilla glaze.
In a small bowl, whisk together sugar and cinnamon. When the donuts come out of the oven, let them cool for 2 minutes, then immediately toss them in cinnamon sugar.
When the donuts are cooled completely, in another small bowl, whisk together the confectioners’ sugar, milk, and vanilla. Dip the cooled donuts in glaze and return to the wire rack. Immediately add sprinkles, if desired. Let stand until the glaze is set.

Notes

The cinnamon sugar mixture can be adjusted to taste.
Use a piping bag for easier filling of the donut wells.
