Treat your ingredients with care...
- Apple cider — Use fresh, unfiltered apple cider for the best flavor.
- Buttermilk — If you don't have buttermilk, you can make a substitute by adding 1 tablespoon of lemon juice or vinegar to 1 cup of milk. Let it sit for 5 minutes before using.
Tips & Tricks
- Make sure the oil is at the right temperature before frying to ensure the doughnuts cook evenly.
- Coat the doughnuts in cinnamon sugar while they are still warm to help the sugar adhere better.
- Serve the doughnuts fresh for the best taste and texture.
- If you prefer a stronger apple flavor, reduce the apple cider to 1/4 cup instead of 1/2 cup.
- These doughnuts are best enjoyed on the day they are made.
Serving advice
Serve the apple cider doughnuts warm with a dusting of powdered sugar or a drizzle of caramel sauce for an extra indulgence. They pair perfectly with a hot cup of coffee or a glass of cold milk.
Presentation advice
Arrange the apple cider doughnuts on a platter or a rustic wooden board. Sprinkle some extra cinnamon sugar on top for an enticing presentation. You can also serve them in individual paper liners for a charming touch.
