To make homemade Cinnabon Delights, start by preparing the donut batter. Whisk together 1 ½ cups of all-purpose flour, ¼ cup white sugar, 2 teaspoons baking powder, ½ teaspoon salt, and 1 teaspoon cinnamon. Stir in 1 egg, ½ cup milk, and 2 tablespoons melted butter until the mixture is smooth.
Next, heat oil to 375°F for deep frying. Carefully drop spoonfuls of the batter into the hot oil, frying each donut for about 4 minutes, flipping halfway through to ensure even cooking. Once golden brown, drain the donuts on paper towels and roll them in cinnamon sugar while still warm for a delicious coating.
For the cream cheese filling, whip ¼ cup softened cream cheese with 1 teaspoon vanilla extract until smooth. Gradually add 1 cup powdered sugar, mixing until fully combined. Slowly add ¼ cup milk, adjusting as needed to achieve your desired consistency for piping.
To assemble your delights, poke a small hole in each donut. Using a piping bag, fill each donut with the cream cheese mixture. This step ensures every bite is filled with creamy goodness.
These homemade Cinnabon Delights are crispy on the outside and soft on the inside. Enjoy these treats fresh for the best experience, and watch them disappear quickly!
