Coffee Cake Donuts with Vanilla Glaze

You’ll want to make the crumb topping first so it has time to chill in the freezer. For the crumb topping you’ll need cold unsalted butter, granulated sugar, all-purpose flour, and cinnamon. You cut the butter into small cubes, then quickly work it into the remaining ingredients until the mixture resembles a course meal. Then pop the bowl in the freezer while you make your donut batter. Chilling the crumbs in the freezer helps them melt more slowly during the baking process.

The donuts only need to bake for 10-11 minutes, so be sure you keep an eye on them. When you remove the donuts from the oven, you may notice some of the crumb topping has baked over the “hole” area – don’t fret! This is normal and will probably happen. Simply use a skewer or toothpick to clean it up. Then you’re going to let the donuts cool in the pan for 10 FULL minutes before gently lifting them out and onto a cooling rack.
