Tips & Tricks (5)
- Reduce Apple Cider for Intense Flavor 🍎Reduce the apple cider by simmering it down to concentrate the flavor before adding to the batter, which will intensify the apple essence in your donuts.
- Room Temperature Ingredients Matter 🌡️Ensure all dairy ingredients like sour cream and eggs are at room temperature to create a smoother, more evenly mixed batter that results in lighter, fluffier donuts.
- Donut Pan Prep Perfection 🧈Thoroughly grease your donut pan with butter and dust with flour to ensure the donuts release cleanly and maintain their perfect shape after baking.
- Spice Blend Hack 🌿Toast your ground cinnamon and allspice briefly in a dry pan before mixing to unlock deeper, more complex warming flavors in the donut spice mixture.
- Coating Technique Secret 🍬Dip warm donuts in melted butter and then immediately roll in a cinnamon-sugar mixture for a crisp, bakery-style exterior that locks in moisture.
