In this video, I show you how to make my ultimate apple cider donut recipe.

INGREDIENTS

DONUTS

  • 313g (2.5 Cups) All-Purpose Flour

  • 3/4 tsp (3.75 mL) Diamond Crystal Kosher Salt (or 3/8 tsp table salt)

  • 1 Tbsp (15 mL) Ground Cinnamon

  • 2 Tbsp (1 Nut) Freshly Grated Nutmeg

  • 2 tsp (10 mL) Baking Powder

  • 1 tsp (5 mL) Baking Soda

  • 35g (2.5 Tbsp) Unsalted Butter

  • 3/4 Cup Apple Cider

  • 1/2 Cup (121 g) Buttermilk

  • 1/2 Tbsp (7.5 mL) Vanila Extract

  • 1 Large Egg

  • 125g-160g (5/8-3/4 Cup) Granulated Sugar, depending on your preference for sweetness (I prefer to use 160g)

  • Neutral Oil for frying (I prefer peanut oil)

CINNAMON SUGAR MIX

  • 1/2 Cup Granulated Sugar

  • 1 tsp Cinnamon

STEPS

  1. Combine all dry ingredients, except for sugar, in a bowl and whisk to combine. Set aside.

  2. In a large pan, brown the butter over medium-high heat, then add the apple cider. Add cinnamon sticks

  3. Reduce completely, until a thick syrup is formed and about 1/4 cup of liquid remains.

  4. Pour the cider mixture into a separate vessel, and whisk in the buttermilk and vanilla extract.

  5. In a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, add the egg and sugar, and beat until it reaches a light yellow color.

  6. Add your cider mixture, then continue stirring until completely combined.

  7. Slowly add your flour mixture, then once the flour is fully incorporated, continue mixing for 1-2 minutes to knead the dough. The dough should be firm, but somewhat sticky.

  8. Cover the bowl, and allow the dough to rest for 25-30 minutes, preferably in the refrigerator. The dough will become less sticky, but it will remain slightly tacky.

  9. Turn the dough out onto a heavily floured surface, and roll to about 3/4" thick. Punch out your doughnuts, then place them onto a floured baking tray.

  10. In a shallow pan, heat about 2 inches of a neutral oil to 350F (180C).

  11. Once the oil is heated, carefully drop in a few donuts at a time, being careful not to overcrowd the pan. They will immediately sink, then begin to float after a few seconds.

  12. Once the first side is a light golden-brown color (about 1 minutes), flip the donuts and continue frying until the second side is golden-brown as well. Try to maintain your oil between 325F (163C) and 350F (180C) throughout the entire process.

  13. As the donuts finish frying, transfer them to a wire rack.

  14. While the donuts are still slightly warm, toss them in your cinnamon sugar mixture (12 parts granulated sugar to 1 part ground cinnamon), being sure to coat them completely. Then, return them to your wire rack to finish cooling.
