Apple Cider Doughnuts

Vegetarian Times Issue: September 1, 2009   p.75

You can make your own superfine sugar to dust doughnuts by pulsing granulated sugar in a food processor several times.

Directions

1. Preheat oven to 350°F. Coat doughnut pan with cooking spray.

2. Whisk together flour, sugar, baking powder, cinnamon, nutmeg, salt, and cloves in large bowl.

3. Bring cider to a boil in small saucepan. Boil 10 minutes, or until liquid is reduced to 1/3 cup; remove from heat. Whisk egg replacer with 2 Tbs. water in small bowl; stir this mixture into cider reduction. Add soymilk, apple butter, and margarine, stirring until margarine is melted. Cool.

4. Stir cider mixture into flour mixture.

5. Fill each doughnut mold half full with batter. Bake 12 minutes, or until toothpick comes out clean. Roll hot doughnuts in superfine sugar.

I followed the recipe precisely and the dough was very wet for doughnuts, yielding a cake-like consistency rather than a doughnut-like one. I added additional flour, salt, and baking powder to the second batch with a slightly drier but still cakey result.

RE: Sam C- these are cake doughnuts, not fried. Try the mini doughnut recipe- it is very good and for frying vs baked.

Is it ok to replace soymilk with the same amt of cow's milk? and how much egg would I use instead of using egg replacer? I don't have a donut baking pan. I was thinking of making this into rounds and trying to bake donut holes instead. Thoughts? and thanks for the recipe -- jb

RE: Jeanne

The egg replacer called for is the equivalent of 1 egg, but you might need to cut back on the liquid a little. And yes, equal amounts of dairy milk should be fine.

Any advice for getting them to rise more?

I followed the instructions exactly and the first batch tasted undercooked. Baked the second batch a little longer and the texture was still soft and gummy. They tasted good but I did not like the texture. Definitely eat them the first day as they become limp. I was really looking forward to this recipe but unfortunately will not recommend.
