Ingredients

1 package yeast, active dry
3⁄4 cup milk
2 tablespoons butter
3 1⁄4 cups flour, all-purpose
2 tablespoons sugar
1 teaspoon salt
1⁄4 teaspoon cinnamon, ground
1⁄3 cup water
1 egg
1⁄4 teaspoon allspice, ground

Instructions

Sprinkle yeast over warm water in a small bowl; let stand 5 min. Heat milk and butter in a small saucepan until butter is melted. Cool to lukewarm. Put yeast in large bowl; add milk mixture. Stir in 2 cups of the flour, egg, sugar, salt, and spices. Beat until well-blended. Add remaining flour and beat until smooth. Cover bowl and let rise until doubled in bulk, about 1 hour.

Turn dough onto lightly floured board. Pat dough, spreading into 1/2-inch thick circle. Cut out 12 doughuts using 3-inch doughnut cutter. Place dougnuts and holes on greased baking sheets about 1 inch apart. Allow to rise, uncovered, 20 min. Heat oven to 450. Bake until doughnuts are light golden brown, 8-10 min. Brush with melted butter and sprinkle with cinnamon-sugar mixture.
