Cider doughnuts are a special treat often enjoyed in the autumn season. They are a popular tradition in the northeastern United States. You can sometimes find them at places called cider mills, which are farms that make apple cider. These doughnuts are usually eaten with a glass of fresh apple cider. They often have a tasty coating of cinnamon or regular sugar.
What Makes Cider Doughnuts Special?
Cider doughnuts are a type of "cake doughnut." This means they are made from a thick, cake-like batter rather than a yeast-based dough. Their unique flavor comes from key ingredients added to the batter. These include warm spices like cinnamon and nutmeg. The most important ingredient is, of course, apple cider. The cider gives the doughnuts a slightly tangy and sweet apple taste.
How They're Made
Making cider doughnuts involves mixing flour, sugar, eggs, and baking powder with spices and apple cider. The batter is then shaped into doughnut rings. These rings are usually fried until they are golden brown and cooked through. After frying, they are often rolled in a mix of cinnamon and sugar. This adds an extra layer of sweetness and spice.
Where to Find Them
Cider doughnuts are a big part of the autumn harvest season. Many people look forward to them each year. You can often find them at local farms, apple orchards, and cider mills. They are also sold at farmers' markets and bakeries during the fall. Eating a warm cider doughnut is a popular way to celebrate the autumn season.
