Whisk until combined and creamy.

Add 1/2 cup full cream milk to the mixture and stir.

Add 2 teaspoons of baking powder and stir again.

Sift plain flour into the bowl and mix with a whisk, then switch to a spoon as it thickens.

Cover the bowl with cling film and refrigerate for 30 minutes.

Lightly flour a surface and knead the dough until smooth.

Use a cookie cutter to cut out donut shapes, and an apple corer for the holes.

Place the shaped donuts on greased paper.

Bake in the oven at 200°C for 15 to 20 minutes or until golden brown.

Prepare the glaze by mixing icing sugar, a little vanilla extract, and boiling water until combined.

Dip the baked donuts face side down into the glaze until covered.

Dip the glazed donuts into sprinkles (hundreds and thousands).

Prepare a cinnamon sugar mixture with caster sugar and cinnamon.

Dip another donut into the glaze and then into the cinnamon sugar mixture.

Let the donuts stand for about 5 minutes until the icing sets.
