## Instructions
### 1. Preheat & Prep
Preheat your oven to **350°F (175°C)**. Grease a doughnut pan (or a muffin tin if you don’t have one).
### 2. Mix the Batter
In one bowl, whisk together the **flour**, **sugar**, **baking powder**, **baking soda**, **salt**, and **cinnamon**. In another bowl, mix the **buttermilk**, **egg**, **melted butter**, and **vanilla** until smooth.
Combine the wet and dry ingredients and stir until just combined — don’t overmix.
### 3. Fill the Pan
Spoon or pipe the batter into the doughnut molds, filling each about 3/4 of the way.
### 4. Bake
Bake for **10–12 minutes**, or until the doughnuts spring back when lightly touched. Let them cool in the pan for a few minutes before transferring to a wire rack.
### 5. Glaze or Dust
While the doughnuts are cooling, mix your glaze ingredients until smooth. Dip each doughnut in the glaze and add toppings if desired — or simply dust with cinnamon sugar for a quicker finish.
