- Melt the butter in a bowl after the doughnuts have cooled. Then mix cinnamon and sugar and set aside.
- Take the doughnuts and dip them in melted butter; the doughnuts should be cold. Shake off the excess butter and roll the doughnuts on the sugar-cinnamon mixture. Repeat this procedure with all the doughnuts.
