INGREDIENTS
2 cups all purpose flour
3/4 cup brown sugar
1 1/2 tsp baking powder
1/4 tsp baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt
2 teaspoons cinnamon
2 eggs
2 tablespoons butter, softened
1/2 cup fresh apple cider (note: this is apple juice, not hard cider)
1/4 cup buttermilk (or 1/4 cup of milk with 1/2 tsp of vinegar....let stand for 5-10 minutes before using)
Maple Glaze
2 tablespoons butter
1/3 cup grade A maple syrup
1 1/2 cups powdered sugar
sprinkles
special equipment: donut pan
HOW TO MAKE
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. In a large bowl, mix together the flour, sugar, baking soda, baking powder, salt, and cinnamon.
- In a smaller bowl, mix together the softened butter with the eggs until fluffy (doing this ensures that your butter doesn't re-solidify once the cold buttermilk and cider are added). Add buttermilk and apple cider, and mix well.
- Pour wet ingredients into the dry, and stir until just blended. Try not to over mix! The batter will look a bit lumpy, and that's just fine.
- Spread the batter into a greased donut pan. Use a liquid measuring cup to pour the batter into the donut pan, or simply a large spoon, however, placing your batter into a pastry bag to pipe into the pan makes the process nice and easy. Fill each mold about 3/4 full.
- Bake at 350 degrees for 8-10 minutes, or until an inserted toothpick comes out clean. You may want to break open a test doughnut just to make sure the inside isn't gummy!
- While the doughnuts cool, make the maple glaze. Melt together the butter and maple syrup and stir until completely combined. Mix in powdered sugar, and adjust thickness if necessary.
- Dip each donut into the maple glaze, and top with sprinkles. Serve immediately!
**Note: These are best on the first day, as they tend to get a bit soggy once you place them in a container.
