Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1 large egg (room temperature)
  • 1/2 cup sour cream
  • 1/2 cup light brown sugar (packed)
  • 2 1/2 tablespoons butter (melted)
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder

  • 3 1/2 tablespoons all-purpose flour (for crumb topping)
  • 1/4 cup granulated sugar (for crumb topping)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and prepare a donut pan with non-stick spray.
  2. In a bowl, combine granulated sugar, flour, and cinnamon for the crumb topping. Cut in cold butter until it resembles coarse crumbs; chill in the freezer.
  3. In another bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, and salt for the batter. In a separate bowl, mix egg, sour cream, melted butter, and brown sugar. Combine wet and dry ingredients without overmixing.
  4. Fill the donut pan with the batter and top with chilled crumb mixture.
  5. Bake for 10-11 minutes until donuts spring back when pressed; cool before serving.
