Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and coat a 6-mold donut pan with non-stick baking spray.
  2. In a mixing bowl, combine granulated sugar, all-purpose flour, and cinnamon. Cut in the cold butter until you achieve a coarse meal texture.
  3. Whisk together the dry ingredients: all-purpose flour, baking powder, and salt in a large bowl.
  4. In another bowl, whisk together egg, sour cream, melted butter, and brown sugar until smooth.
  5. Fold the wet mixture into the dry mixture until just combined; do not overmix.
  6. Fill each mold of the donut pan about two-thirds full with the batter and sprinkle the crumb topping evenly over each donut.
  7. Bake for 10 to 11 minutes; the donuts are done when they spring back to touch.
  8. Let the donuts cool on a wire rack for 10 minutes before transferring them to cool completely.
