Baked Donuts

5 tablespoons butter
1/2 cup sugar
1 egg
1 cup flour
2 1/4 teaspoons baking powder
1/8 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup milk
1 teaspoon vanilla
cinnamon sugar

Cream together butter and sugar; add egg and mix well.
Sift together flour, baking powder and salt and
add to creamed mixture alternately with milk and vanilla.

Place batter into 12 greased muffin tins half-way full.
Sprinkle batter with cinnamon sugar. Bake at 350 for 25 minutes.

Notes:
If you wait until they are completely cooled with no residual oven
heat, you'll find the flavor is at it's best.  Similar to cake donuts.

Notes:
