Cinnamon Mini Donuts with Browned Butter Glaze

I made these at Easter. Mmmmm

Ingredients
For the donuts:
2 cups flour
3/4 cup granulated sugar
2 tsp baking powder
1/4 tsp ground nutmeg
1/4 tsp ground cinnamon
1 tsp salt
3/4 cup buttermilk (or regular milk with a teaspoon of white vinegar added)
2 eggs, beaten
1 tsp vanilla
1 Tbs butter, melted
For the Browned Butter glaze:
8 tablespoons unsalted butter
2 cup powdered sugar
3 tablespoons milk or cream
1 teaspoon vanilla

Make the donuts:
Preheat the oven to 325 degrees. Lightly grease mini donut pans.
In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, nutmeg, cinnamon, and salt.
In a small bowl, stir together the butter milk, egg, and butter.
Add the wet ingredients to the dry and stir with a wooden spoon until fully incorporated.
Using a pastry bag fill the donut pans about half full. More than that and you won't have any discernible donut holes. Bake for 5-6 minutes or until lightly browned and cooked through.
Remove from the oven and cool in the pan for a few minutes before transferring to a wire rack.

Make the glaze:
While the donuts are cooling in the pan, melt the butter in a small saucepan over low heat until it browned, about 8 minutes.
Pour the butter into a small bowl and whisk in the powdered sugar, milk, and vanilla until smooth.
Dip the donut tops (slightly warm or cool) in the glaze and enjoy.

With my mini donut pans this makes about 5 dozen.
