Apple Cider Doughnut Holes

sugar crafter
List of Ingredients
- 1 cup apple cider
- 1/4 cup butter, softened
- 1 cup sugar
- 2 eggs
- 1/2 cup buttermilk
- 5 1/2 cups flour, divided
- 2 tsp baking powder
- 1 tsp baking soda
- 1 tsp cinnamon
- 1/4 tsp nutmeg
- 1/8 tsp cardamom
- 1/2 tsp kosher salt
- Vegetable oil, for frying
- For the topping:
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1 1/2 Tbsp cinnamon
Instructions
- In a small sauce pan, boil the apple cider down until it is reduced to 1/4 cup. Allow to cool.
- In a large bowl, cream together the butter and sugar until fluffy. Beat in the eggs.
- Beat in the buttermilk and reduced apple cider.
- In a medium bowl, whisk together 3 1/2 cups of the flour, the baking powder and soda, and the cinnamon, nutmeg, cardamom, and salt.
- Add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients until combined. The dough will be very sticky.
- Transfer the dough to a floured surface and knead, adding in the additional flour (you may not need the full 2 cups), until the dough is no longer sticky.
- Roll out the dough to 1/2 thickness, and using a 1 cutter, cut out the doughnut holes. Re-roll the scraps of dough and continue cutting until there is no dough left.
- In an electric fryer or a deep pan, add 3 of vegetable oil. Fry several doughnut holes at a time, turning occasionally, until they are browned and cooked through. Remove the cooked doughnut holes to a paper towel-lined plate. Immediately coat them in the cinnamon-sugar mixture.
- Serve warm.
