Apple Cider Doughnuts image

Todd Gray, the chef and owner of the Equinox Restaurant in Washington, developed these apple cider sufganiyot as a nod to his wife's Jewish heritage (he's Episcopalian), serving them with blueberry-ginger jam at his restaurant during Hanukkah. We like to throw a batch together anytime we crave the taste of autumn.

Time 40m

Yield About 2 dozen

Number Of Ingredients 16

1 cup apple cider
5 1/2 cups all-purpose flour, more for rolling dough
1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
1 teaspoon baking soda
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon freshly grated nutmeg
1 1/2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
4 tablespoons unsalted butter, at room temperature
1 1/2 cups granulated sugar
1/4 cup packed brown sugar
2 large eggs
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/2 cup buttermilk
1 medium Honeycrisp apple or other tart cooking apple, peeled and cut into 1/4-inch dice
Vegetable oil, for frying
Blueberry ginger jam, for serving (see recipe)

Steps:

  • Place apple cider in a small saucepan over high heat and reduce to 1/2 cup; remove from heat and reserve. In a large bowl, sift together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, nutmeg and 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon.
  • Using an electric mixer fitted with a paddle, mix together the butter, 1 cup granulated sugar and the brown sugar, until creamy. Mix in eggs one at a time. Mix in vanilla, buttermilk and reserved cider.
  • Scrape down bowl and add sifted flour mixture. Mix just until blended. Remove bowl from mixer, add apple, and mix well by hand. Cover and refrigerate for 30 minutes.
  • On a lightly floured work surface, roll out dough to a rough disk about 1/2-inch to 3/4-inch thick. Cut dough using a 2 1/2-inch doughnut cutter. Reserve "holes."
  • Fill a wok or deep fryer with oil and heat to 300 degrees. Putting three or four doughnuts in at a time, fry until deep golden brown on each side, about 5 minutes total. Drain on a platter lined with paper towels. Fry "holes" separately. In a small bowl, combine remaining 1/2 cup sugar with remaining 1 teaspoon cinnamon. Dust doughnuts with cinnamon sugar and serve warm. If desired, serve with blueberry ginger jam for dipping or spreading.

These doughnuts were a disappointment. They were dry and the apple cider flavor was barely there. I wouldn't recommend this recipe.
