Cider Doughnuts
This is a doughnut that began to sell at apple orchards as a treat to accompany their farm fresh apple cider. Now they can be found easily around the New England area, but you absolutely can't beat the taste of these when they are homemade. The apple cider is subtle but definitely gives these doughnuts their classic fall flavor; and when combined with cinnamon and nutmeg the perfect apple spice is created. Since moving to New York, these have become one of my favorite things about autumn. There's nothing better than a cider doughnut with a cup of spiced apple cider on a crisp autumn day. Vermont Apple Cider Doughnuts: (makes 12) (adapted from a recipe recommended on Chowhound) 1 cup Apple Cider1 cup sugar1/4 cup butter (softened)2 large eggs1/2 cup buttermilk3 1/2 cups all-purpose flour2 teaspoons baking powder1 teaspoon baking soda1/2 teaspoon cinnamon1/2 teaspoon salt1/4 teaspoon nutmegVegetable oil for frying1 cup cinnamon-sugar mixed Boil the apple cider in small saucepan until it is reduced to 1/4 cup. Allow to cool down fully. Then add the buttermilk and reduced apple cider. In another bowl mix together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon, salt and nutmeg. Add the flour mixture slowly to the liquid mixture and mix enough to combine. Roll or pat the dough to a 1/2 inch thickness. (Re-roll scraps and continue with the cutting process) Place the doughnuts on a tray lined with grease proof paper. Fry a few doughnuts at a time, turning once or twice until they are browned and fully cooked through. Allow the hot doughnuts to drain on some paper towel. related searches : Cider
