Notes

Chilling crumb topping ensures it adheres properly and brands the nutty aroma
Uniform 1/2-inch butter cubes create a properly crumbly topping
Reserve 1-2 tbsp granulated sugar from initial 1/2 cup for optional storage use
Store glazed donuts in airtight container for up to 2 days; separate glaze and crumb topping for longer storage
