Step 1
In a large bowl, sift together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon, and salt.
Step 2
In another bowl, mix the sugar, egg, egg yolk, and vanilla until pale and thick.
Step 3
Pour in the melted butter. Stir until combined. Add the sour cream in and whisk to just mixed.
Step 4
Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and gently fold in using a spatula.
Step 5
Turn the dough out onto plastic wrap and wrap it up tightly. Place in the fridge to chill for at least one hour.
Step 6
Once the dough has chilled, remove it from the fridge and turn out onto a lightly floured surface. Use a rolling pin to roll to about 1/2" thickness and use a donut cutter to cut out donuts (save the donut holes).
Step 7
Transfer cut out donut shapes to a parchment paper-lined cookie sheet and return to the fridge for at least 15 minutes.
Step 8
Fill a Dutch oven at least 2-3" deep with canola oil. Once the oil has reached 350-360°F, remove donuts from the fridge and transfer donuts or donut holes in the oil, just 3 a time. The donuts will float to the top. Then cook another 1-1 1/2 minutes and then use tongs or a slotted spoon to remove them from the oil and transfer to a paper towel-lined plate. The donuts should be a nice golden brown.
Step 9
To prepare the glaze, combine powdered sugar, milk, and vanilla. Whisk until smooth.
Step 10
Dip the warm donuts into the glaze and then transfer to a cooling rack to allow the glaze to set.
