Equipment
- Doughnut Pan
Ingredients
- ½ cup Starter Unfed/Inactive
- ¾ cup Brown Sugar
- 1 cup Apple Cider
- ¼ cup Melted Butter
- 2 Eggs Large
- 2 cups All Purpose Flour
- 2 teaspoon Baking Powder
- ½ teaspoon Baking Soda
- ½ teaspoon Salt
- 2 teaspoon Cinnamon
For the Cinnamon Sugar Coating
- ¼ cup Apple Cider
- ⅓ cup Sugar
- 1 tablespoon Cinnamon
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 375°.
- In a large bowl, mix together the melted butter and sugar.
- Add the eggs, starter, and apple cider to the bowl and mix until everything is well combined.
- Add the flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and cinnamon to the bowl. Mix until just combined. Do not overmix at this point. It's ok if there are a few lumps left in the batter.
- Spray a donut pan with cooking spray. Add the batter to a piping bag or a Ziploc bag with the corner cut off and pipe the batter into the donut pan.
- Place the donut pan in the oven and bake for 12-15 minutes until the donuts are just slightly browned and have risen.
To make the cinnamon sugar coating
- Mix the sugar and cinnamon together.
- Brush the donuts with apple cider and roll each one in the cinnamon and sugar mixture.
- Serve immediately
Notes
- To make the doughnuts a little more decadent, brush the donuts with melted butter instead of apple cider.
- Coconut oil can be substituted for melted butter in the batter.
