How to Make Baked French Doughnuts

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 12-cup muffin tin.
  2. In a large bowl, cream together 1/2 cup (1 stick) softened margarine and 1 cup granulated sugar until light and fluffy.
  3. Beat in 2 large eggs, one at a time, mixing well after each addition.
  4. In a separate bowl, whisk together 2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour, 2 teaspoons baking powder, 1/2 teaspoon baking soda, and 1/4 teaspoon salt.
  5. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, alternating with 1 cup milk, beginning and ending with the dry ingredients. Mix until just combined; do not overmix.
  6. Fill each muffin cup about halfway full.
  7. Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  8. Remove doughnuts from the muffin tin immediately and let cool slightly on a wire rack.
  9. **For the Cinnamon Sugar Topping:** In a shallow dish, melt 1/4 cup margarine. In another shallow dish, combine 1/2 cup granulated sugar and 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon.
  10. Dip or toss each doughnut in the melted margarine, then roll in the cinnamon-sugar mixture until evenly coated.
