Ingredients | Apple Cider Donuts Recipe

1 cup apple cider

1 cup white sugar

¼ cup butter, at room temperature

2 eggs

½ cup buttermilk

3 ½ cups all-purpose flour, or more as needed

2 teaspoons baking powder

1 teaspoon baking soda

½ teaspoon ground cinnamon

½ teaspoon salt

⅛ teaspoon ground nutmeg

2 cups vegetable oil for frying, or as needed

1 cup confectioners' sugar

2 tablespoons apple cider

Directions

Boil 1 cup apple cider in a small pot until reduced to 1/4 cup, about 10 minutes. Remove pot from heat and cool to room temperature.

Beat white sugar and butter together with an electric mixer until creamy and smooth; add eggs, 1 at a time, beating well before each addition. Mix buttermilk and reduced apple cider into creamed butter mixture.

Whisk flour, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon, salt, and nutmeg together in a bowl. Slowly stir flour mixture into creamed butter mixture just until dough is combined.

Turn dough onto a lightly floured piece of parchment paper. Sprinkle dough with flour and roll to 1/2-inch thickness, adding more flour if dough is sticky. Cut dough into doughnuts using a 3-inch-wide doughnut cutter and arrange on a baking sheet; refrigerate until chilled, 20 to 30 minutes.

Heat at least 3 inches of oil in a deep-fryer or large saucepan to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).

Whisk confectioners' sugar and 2 tablespoons apple cider together in a bowl until glaze is smooth.

Fry doughnuts in the hot oil, 2 to 3 at a time, until golden brown, 1 to 2 minutes per side; remove with a slotted spoon and drain on paper towels. Pour glaze over warm doughnuts.

Low-fat or non-fat buttermilk won't change the taste.

We have determined the nutritional value of oil for frying based on a retention value of 10% after cooking. The exact amount will vary depending on cooking time and temperature, ingredient density, and the specific type of oil used.
