Apple Cider Doughnuts
adapted from Doughnuts by Lara Ferroni
1 3/4 cups all-purpose flour
1/4 cup graham flour
2 tsp cinnamon
2 tsp baking powder
1 tsp baking soda
1/2 tsp salt
2 tbsp (1 oz) unsalted butter
1/2 cup superfine sugar
2 egg yolks
1 tsp vanilla extract
1/4 cup apple cider
1/4 cup buttermilk
vegetable oil for frying
Preheat oven to 350°F. Whisk together the flours, cinnamon, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Set aside. In the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, cream the butter and sugar together. Add the egg yolks and beat until the mixture is fluffy and pale yellow. Stir in the vanilla, cider, and buttermilk. Add the dry ingredients and stir just until the mixture comes together in a soft, slightly sticky dough. Cover and refrigerate for 15 to 20 minutes. Roll out the dough on a lightly floured surface to about 1/2-inch thick. Cut the doughnuts out with a 2 1/2 inch-diameter cutter. You can re-roll any scrap dough. Bake in a doughnut pan in a 350°F oven for 5 to 10 minutes. Let cool if you would like to glaze and sprinkle with cinnamon sugar.
Wow, they look scrumptious!
ReplyDeleteThese truly looks scrumptious. I should better share this with my friends to tell if they would like this for our High school reunion. Thanks a lot for sharing.
