Thank you Pure Wow for the recipe!

Ingredients

Doughnuts: 

  • 2 cups apple cider

  • 5 cups all-purpose flour

  • 1 Tbsp baking powder

  • 2 tsp ground cinnamon

  • ½ tsp ground nutmeg

  • 1 tsp salt 

  • 1 + ½ cups sugar

  • 4 Tbsp unsalted butter (softened)

  • ⅓ cup buttermilk

  • 2 eggs

  • Vegetable, canola, or peanut oil for frying

Cinnamon-Sugar Coating:

  • 1 cup granulated sugar

  • 1 + ½ Tbsp ground cinnamon

Instructions

  1. In a large pot, bring the cider to a boil over medium-high heat. Boil until it’s reduced to 1 cup, about 8-10 minutes. Let the mixture cool to room temperature. 

  2. In the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, mix the flour with the baking powder, cinnamon, nutmeg, salt, and sugar on low speed. 

  3. Add the cooled cider, butter, buttermilk, and eggs. Mix until a smooth batter forms — 3-4 minutes. 

  4. Transfer the mixture to a parchment-lined baking sheet and wrap it directly with plastic wrap. Refrigerate until it’s firm, about 30 minutes. 

  5. Heat about 3 inches of oil in a medium pot over medium heat until a thermometer reads 350°F. Line a baking sheet with two or three layers of absorbent paper towels. 

  6. On a lightly floured surface, roll out the dough to ½-inch thick. Use a 1-inch circle cutter to cut out the dough. 

  7. When the oil is hot, fry the doughnut holes in batches until they’re golden brown on both sides — 6-8 minutes. Drain the finished doughnuts on the prepared baking sheet and let them cool for about a minute. 

  8. In a small bowl, mix the sugar with the cinnamon. While the doughnuts are still hot, toss them in the cinnamon sugar to coat. Serve immediately.
