Beat sugar with shortening until smooth. Add eggs and mix well, then add buttermilk and reduced cider.
Stir together flour, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon, salt and nutmeg in another bowl. Add to liquid ingredients; mix just enough to combine.

-----GLAZE-----

Dip doughnuts while warm;
serve warm.
(I would make glaze optional if I were making the doughnuts. I like them plain)
