Instructions
Step 1
Whisk flour, starches, 1 tsp. cinnamon, baking powder, ½ tsp. salt, xanthan, nutmeg, and soda in a bowl; set aside. Beat ½ cup butter and sugar in the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with a paddle attachment until fluffy, 1 minute. Add egg and ½ tsp. vanilla; beat until smooth. Alternate adding flour mixture with buttermilk, beginning and ending with dry ingredients. Mix until a soft dough forms; let rest 10 minutes.
Step 2
Heat 2" oil in a 6-qt. saucepan until a deep-fry thermometer reads 350°. On a lightly floured surface, pat dough into a 9" round about ½" thick. Using a floured 3" donut cutter, cut out donuts; gather and reuse scraps. Working in batches, fry, flipping once, until puffed and golden, 3-4 minutes. Using a slotted spoon, transfer to a baking sheet with a wire rack; let cool completely.
Step 3
Whisk remaining cinnamon, salt, and vanilla, plus chocolate and confectioners' sugar, in a bowl; set aside. Bring remaining butter, milk, and 1 tbsp. water to a boil in a 1-qt. saucepan over high heat. Pour over chocolate mixture; let sit 2 minutes without stirring. Whisk until smooth and dip tops of donuts in glaze. Return to rack until glaze is set.
