Ingredients

1 cup apple cider

1 cup sugar

1/4 cup solid vegetable shortening

2 large eggs

1/2 cup buttermilk

3 1/2 cup all-purpose flour

2 tsp. baking powder

1 tsp.baking soda

1/2 tsp. cinnamon

1/2 tsp. salt

1/4 tsp. nutmeg

vegetable oil or shortening -for frying

GLAZE

2 cup confectioners' sugar

1/4 cup apple cider

For glaze, mix confectioners' sugar and cider.

Dip doughnuts while warm;

serve warm.(I would make glaze optional if I were making

the doughnuts. I like them plain)

Shake with cinnamon and sugar in a small paper bag

Directions

Boil apple cider in small saucepan until it is reduced to 1/4 cup, 8 to 10 minutes; cool.

Beat sugar with shortening until smooth. Add eggs and mix well, then add buttermilk and reduced cider.

Stir together flour, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon, salt and nutmeg in another bowl.

Add to liquid ingredients; mix just enough to combine.

Transfer dough to lightly floured board and pat to 1/2-inch thickness.

Cut with 2 1/2- to 3-inch doughnut cutter; reserve doughnut scraps and reroll and cut

Add enough oil or shortening to fill a deep pan 3 inches; heat to 375'F.

Fry several doughnuts at a time without crowding pan, turning once or twice, until browned and cooked through, about 4 minutes.

Remove to paper towels with slotted spoon. If you have brown paper bags (sacks for you mid-westerners) use those instead, they work better.

Repeat with doughnut holes

Hope you like them. We decided we like the cider glazed better than the cinnamon/sugar.

I was hoping to find a recipe for these doughnuts, and I'm so glad it's yours! We have so many apple farm/orchards here in Illinois and nearby Wisconsin that serve these! This is truly one of my favorite comfort foods...lol---a "no-brainer" 5 from me :)
