Instructions

Preheat your oven to 325 degrees F (165 degrees C). Grease a donut pan lightly to prevent sticking.
In a large bowl, combine flour, sugar, baking powder, nutmeg, cinnamon, and salt. Add milk, eggs, melted butter, and vanilla extract. Mix until everything is well combined. Fill each donut cavity about 3/4 of the way full.
Bake in the preheated oven for 8 to 10 minutes, or until the donuts spring back when lightly touched. Let them cool slightly before taking them out of the pan.
While the donuts cool, prepare the glaze: In a small bowl, mix confectioners' sugar, hot water, and almond extract until smooth. Dip the donuts into the glaze before serving for a sweet finish.
