MAKE THE DOUGHNUTS

Grease the rack with spray. In a cup add the milk and heat it in the microwave for 40 sec. Add a teaspoon of sugar, stir to dissolve, sprinkle in the yeast and leave for 8 min.
In a bowl stir the flour and salt. In another bowl stir the remaining 1/4 cup sugar, the butter, the egg and the vanilla. Add the yeast mixture and stir to a smooth mixture. Combine with the dry ingredients into a dough.
Knead on a floured surface to an elastic dough. Add a teaspoon of flour if needed. Knead about 5 min. Shape the dough into a ball and place in a greased bowl covered with cling film. Let rise for 1 hour in a warm place.
Roll out the dough on a floured surface to 1 cm thickness.
Using a cookie cutter or two round cutters of different sizes (7.5 cm and 2.5 cm) form the doughnuts. Place the doughnuts on baking paper, cover with a towel and let rest another 40 min to 1 hour.
Grease the appliance rack with spray and arrange the doughnuts so they do not touch. Bake at 191° for 6 min, until golden. Remove to cool on a rack and continue with the remaining doughnuts.
Dip the doughnuts in glaze and leave them on a rack for 5 min. MAKE THE VANILLA GLAZE:
In a medium bowl whisk together powdered sugar, milk, and vanilla until smooth. MAKE THE CHOCOLATE GLAZE:
In a medium bowl whisk together powdered sugar, cocoa powder, and milk. MAKE THE CINNAMON SUGAR:
In a large shallow bowl, whisk together cinnamon and sugar. Brush doughnuts with melted butter and toss in cinnamon sugar.
