Time 29m

Yield 7

Number Of Ingredients 11

1 instant apple cider mix
½ cup white sugar, or as needed
2 cups all-purpose flour
1 tablespoon baking powder
1 teaspoon kosher salt
¼ teaspoon ground cinnamon
⅛ teaspoon freshly grated nutmeg
½ cup milk
1 egg
½ orange, zested
vegetable oil for frying

Steps:

  • Pour apple cider mix into a 1/2 cup measuring cup. Top off with enough sugar to equal 1/2 cup.
  • Combine sugar mixture, flour, baking powder, salt, cinnamon, and nutmeg in a large bowl.
  • Mix milk, egg, and orange zest together in a small bowl. Pour over flour mixture; mix gently until dough comes together in a ball.
  • 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.
  • 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.
