Cider Doughnuts Recipe

Cider Doughnuts Recipe

  • 1 instant apple cider mix
  • 1/2 cup white sugar, or as needed
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 tablespoon baking powder
  • 1 teaspoon kosher salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/8 teaspoon freshly grated nutmeg
  • 1/2 cup milk
  • 1 egg
  • 1/2 orange, zested (optional)
  • vegetable oil for frying
  1. Pour apple cider mix into a 1/2 cup measuring cup. Top off with enough sugar to equal 1/2 cup.
  2. Combine sugar mixture, flour, baking powder, salt, cinnamon, and nutmeg in a large bowl.
  3. Mix milk, egg, and orange zest together in a small bowl. Pour over flour mixture; mix gently until dough comes together in a ball.
  4. Turn dough out onto a floured work surface; pat into a rectangle about 1/2-inch thick. Cut into doughnuts using a floured doughnut cutter.
  5. Fill a large saucepan with oil to a depth 1 1/2 inch; heat to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Place a few doughnuts carefully into the hot oil. Fry until deep golden, 2 to 3 minutes per side. Drain on paper towels. Repeat with remaining doughnuts.
