2. Whisk together flour, baking powder, baking soda, and cinnamon in a large bowl and make a well in the center. In a separate bowl whisk together egg, sugar, butter, milk, and vanilla. Add wet ingredients to dry ingredients and mix until all ingredients are evenly combined, and then let sit for 15 minutes.
3. Adjust oven rack to middle position and preheat to 200u0b0F. Heat oil in a large wok, Dutch oven, or deep fryer to 350u0b0F. Using two spoons drop batter into oil and cook until first side is browned, about 3 minutes. Turn and continue to cook until second side is browned, about 2 minutes longer. Remove from oil with a slotted spoon transfer to a paper towel-lined plate, then transfer to a rack set in a rimmed baking sheet and keep warm in oven. Repeat with remaining batter until all doughnuts are cooked.
