Ingredients

  • 4 plain donuts
  • 3 large eggs
  • 1/4 cup milk
  • 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
  • 1 pinch salt
  • 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
  • 2 tablespoons butter
  • Confectioners' sugar, for serving
  • Maple syrup, for serving

Yield

Serves: 4

Preparation

Halve each donut horizontally. Preheat a large skillet over medium heat.

In a large baking dish, whisk together eggs, milk, cinnamon, salt and vanilla extract. Add half the butter to the hot pan to melt. Submerge 4 donut halves into the egg mixture and transfer to the pan. Cook on each side for 2 to 3 minutes. Remove to serving plates, then add the remaining butter to the pan and cook the remaining donuts.

Serve with confectioners’ sugar and maple syrup.
