Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and coat a 6-mold donut pan with non-stick spray.
  2. Make the crumb topping by combining granulated sugar, flour, and ground cinnamon, then mix in cubed cold butter until crumbly. Chill in fridge.
  3. In a large bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, and salt.
  4. In another bowl, whisk together egg, sour cream, melted butter, and brown sugar until smooth.
  5. Gently fold the wet ingredients into the dry mixture until just combined.
  6. Fill the donut molds about three-quarters full and sprinkle with crumb topping.
  7. Bake for 10-11 minutes, until they spring back when pressed and a toothpick comes out clean.
  8. Let the donuts cool in the pan for 10 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
