Ingredients
Scale
Doughnuts Ingredients
- 2 cups apple cider
- 3 cups all-purpose flour
- ½ cup whole wheat flour
- 2/3 cups dark brown sugar (packed)
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- ½ teaspoon baking soda
- ¾ teaspoon salt
- ¼ teaspoon ground cardamom
- ¼ teaspoon nutmeg
- ¼ teaspoon cinnamon
- ¼ teaspoon allspice
- 2 large eggs
- 6 tablespoons butter (melted)
- Oil for deep frying
Ingredients for Chocolate Glaze
- ½ cup whipping cream
- 2 ounces semisweet chocolate (shaved – I used chocolate chips)
- 2 tablespoons light corn syrup.
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
Instructions
- In a small saucepan over high heat bring the cider to a rolling boing. Boil until reduced to about 1 cup. Let cool.
- In a large bowl whisk together the flour, baking soda, baking powder, salt, and all the spices.
- In another bowl whisk the eggs, and then mix in the cider, brown sugar, vanilla, and butter. Using a large spoon combine the egg mixture into the dry ingredients until moistened.
- Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate for 1 hour or until dough is firm enough to handle.
- Divide the dough in have to make it easy to handle. Place the dough on a floured surface and flatten using your hands down to about ½ inch thickness. Form the doughnuts using a 3-inch doughnut cutter.
- Deep fry doughnuts a few at a time at 365F on each side or until golden brown and cooked through. (Check the 1st batch when you take them out to see if they are done. If not adjust the time as needed.)
- Drain on paper towels and let cool.
- While doughnuts are cooling prepare the glaze.
- In a small saucepan mix together the cream and corn syrup. Bring the mixture to a boil, remove from heat, and mix in the chocolate, stirring until chocolate is melted, and then stir in 2 teaspoons of vanilla.
- Dip one side of the doughnuts into the chocolate mixture
