# How To Make It:
01 - Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C) and lightly grease a standard donut pan.
02 - In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and cinnamon until evenly mixed.
03 - In a separate bowl, whisk together buttermilk, eggs, melted butter, and vanilla extract until smooth.
04 - Add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients and stir gently until just combined; avoid overmixing to maintain tenderness.
05 - Spoon or pipe the batter evenly into the prepared donut pan, filling each cavity approximately three-quarters full.
06 - Bake for 10 to 12 minutes, or until donuts spring back when lightly pressed.
07 - Allow the donuts to cool in the pan for 3 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
08 - Combine sugar and cinnamon in a shallow bowl. Brush each warm donut with melted butter, then immediately dip into the cinnamon-sugar mixture to coat evenly.
09 - Serve the donuts warm or at room temperature for optimal flavor and texture.
