Baked Cider Donuts
I love good bakery donuts, but they are so hard to find. I want them fresh, I want them warm and I want them no too sweet. Frying homemade donuts is not something I want to do very often… maybe 2-3 times a year. However, I’ve finally perfect a baked donuts recipe that is so yummy – tender, soft, fluffy. The best part is that you can make the batter ahead of time, Scoop it in a Disposable Piping Bags in the freezer or fridge, pipe them into the Donut Pan, then bake them anytime you want. (I do the same thing with muffins!) They take 10 minutes to bake. By the time the coffee is ready I can have warm, fluffy cake donuts any day of the week and I don’t have to leave the house. Dangerous!
